Foundations of BlueAlliance & BlueAlliance Care+

BlueAlliance builds on the success of our first patient-centered medical home (PCMH) which piloted in 2005. With a strong focus on prevention, the program incorporates the PCMH model, patient attribution, clinical risk groups and risk adjustments.

BlueAlliance Care+ aligns with BlueAlliance however it is specifically for the Medicaid Expansion population.
