• Provide infrastructure and support services to reduce administrative burdens and alleviate physician burnout
• Equip physicians with integrated technology solutions to monitor, manage and coordinate patient care effectively
• Share data and insights alongside value-added services to identify and address opportunities to improve care
• Offer flexible options to help physicians structure the management and ownership of their practices


“Offering new resources to independent physician practices is the ideal next step in our collaborations with health care providers to improve quality and reduce costs for our members and for all North Carolinians,” said Dr. Von Nguyen, senior vice president and chief medical officer at Blue Cross NC. “Independent physicians typically have hundreds, if not thousands, of patients to care for, and they have a business to run. If we provide additional support to help them meet these demands, we can have a positive impact on health outcomes while doing more to address rising health care costs.”
