Direct Contracting Entity

[BALDELMO]

Looking for those who can share client experiences when the client's medical group aligns with a DCE. I know that we have been told that these are now being pushed as renamed ACO- REACH arrangements, but as of last week local clients are receiving written communication from the physician group indicating that the group is now allied with a Humana DCE and client needs to sign up.

DCE = more consumer (and agent) confusion . . .

A good explanation here . . .

IMO just another wasted effort by CMS that will (probably never) pan out as expected)
