CVS, Amazon deals might be good for patients, bad for primary care MedTwitter
UnitedHealth recentlyto have its Optum subsidiary provide analytic and decision support that will help Walmart's burgeoning primary care clinics serve seniors under value-based contracts with Medicare Advantage plans.
David Blumenthal, MD, president of the Commonwealth Fund, is less optimistic about Amazon's ability to reinvent healthcare by using One Medical as a wedge. On the other hand, he's concerned that if One Medical and other advance primary care operations continue to grow, they'll reduce access to primary care for people who can't afford their fees and will hurt traditional primary care practices.
"There are ways to ensure that, when patients enter a healthcare setting, they can be made aware of products that are available to them, even if not directly personalized, and that can lead to data sharing," he said. Bazemore views CVS's acquisition of Signify as another advance primary care play."CVS would tell you that Signify clinicians spend significantly more time with patients than they get in a typical primary care office visit. You can imagine that this competes with comprehensive primary care practices, whether their doctors are independent or employed by health systems."
