CHA’s transformational strategies Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA) implemented four major transformational strategies, including establishing patient-centered medical homes, launching complex care engagement, creating alternative payment arrangements with management care organizations, and partnering with tertiary care institutions.

Based on the cost assessments performed two years after the implementation, the per-member per-month (PMPM) payments for Medicaid and Commonwealth care reduced. The finding implies that CHA’s strategy for creating alternative payment arrangements with managed care organizations was effective in increasing efficiencies in payment and lowering costs.
