Medicare/Medicaid

Illinois Medicaid patients are already seeing the benefits of having a “medical home” through the Illinois Health Connect Program.  Over 5,000 primary care practices are designated primary care providers to over 1.9 million Medicaid patients. These practices function as Medicaid patients’ usual source of care and first point of contact.  As a result, participating physicians are seeing increased payments and better outcomes for coordinating care.  

Your Healthcare Plus - CME Site for the Disease Management Program

The disease management component, Your Healthcare Plus, is working to improve outcomes for some of Medicaid’s most complex patients. All Illinois physicians can benefit from the clinical knowledge and the quality improvement tools available from the Your Healthcare Plus CME program, created by IAFP’s education network.   

Both Illinois Health Connect and Your Healthcare Plus are led by family physicians and shaped by constant feedback from IAFP leaders and family physicians.  Link to the IAFP case statement on IHC and YHP
