What is the cost to join Sequent?
September 30, 2016, 06:19 PM | by: merge | No CommentsSequent will charge its participants a $350 annual fee for each participating physician. For physicians currently participating in the PHO (GMC), this fee will be in addition to the annual PHO fee.
Currently GMC offers messenger model contracting, credentialing and educational services to its participants. During the transition phase, GMC will continue to provide these services for members of the PHO and the CIN. This is why we feel that continuing the $350 PHO fee continues to be justified for the next year and potentially for some time thereafter. That said, as services are transferred to the CIN over time, we will reassess the appropriate PHO fee.
Sequent’s leadership feels that an additional fee is warranted due to the significant additional benefits that the organization will be providing its participants. In addition to the services which the PHO is currently providing to its participants, the CIN will offer physicians who commit their time and effort to the furtherance of the organization’s Mission and Vision with access to information technology, population health resources and joint contracting services not currently provided by GMC.
