ACO Watch: A Mid Week Review with Jeffrey L Cohen

On the Wednesday, March 30th 2011 program at 11AM Pacific and 2PM Eastern, my special guest commentator is Jeffrey L. Cohen, Esq. Jeff is back for an encore appearance on ACO Watch.

With over 20 years of healthcare law experience. Jeff is board certified by The Florida Bar as a specialist in healthcare law and is a self decribed 'frustrated comedian'. As Founder of The Florida Healthcare Law Firm, he can be reached via jcohen(at)floridahealthcarelawfirm(dot)com. In this broadcast, we'll discuss the ACO industry in general and more particularly his recent blog post: 'IPAs Again' See: http://bit.ly/figPnF, for context. Jeff gets straight to the point on the potential 'there's value in them hills' if only IPA morph into the very entities that the ACO conversation has hosted to date. Key claims made include the 'messenger model is dead' in the new and improved IPA. In a play on Jeff's reasoning, I tweeted today 'The 'messenger model' of contracting is 'dead'. IPA 2.0 = ACO 1.0'
