The governor’s vision is to  incentivize providers to provide the highest quality, least costly care for all Tennesseans.<br/> <br/> The two key components of the plan are primary care medical homes and retrospective bundled payments for defined episodes of care. The plan initially will include services provided to TennCare enrollees and Tennessee state employees.<br/> <br/> Led by the TennCare bureau, the state has begun convening stakeholder groups to educate them about the plan and provide an opportunity for those stakeholders to  help shape the design of the new payment system. They are  bringing together healthcare providers and clinicians, employers who purchase health insurance for their employees, major insurance companies, and patients and family members to reform the healthcare payment system in Tennessee.
