On November 15, 2023, a New York City-based firm, "Vytalize Health" made a presentation to the Green Mountain Care Board requesting GMCB support for their implementation of an "ACO REACH" entity in two primary care centers in Vermont--one in Bradford/Wells River, and the other in Bristol, and is actively seeking to partner with other primary care centers throughout Vermont and the Northeast. The ACO REACH model transforms the financial flows primary care practices face in their care of patients covered through traditional Medicare, with the goal of cutting costs. Vytalize is a for-profit firm, funded with private equity capital. You can read about ACO REACH at the following link, https://pnhp.org/corporations-are-reaching-for-traditional-medicare/.
Dr. Betty Keller, M.D., president of Vermont Physicians for a National Health Program (VT PNHP), and Dr. Marvin Malek, M.D., MPH, an internist in Berlin, Vermont, and past president of VT PNHP, will lead the discussion and take questions after their presentation. The program will be recorded and available for viewing on NEAT TV website and on Comcast CH1080.
