OneCare VT’s 2019 budget proposal and related public discussion do not fulfill the requisite regulatory requirements. The pattern of absent or inadequate transparency with OneCare and its affiliates should offer Vermonters ample cause for concern. Red flags arise regarding the ACO’s proposed expansion of its advanced care coordination, health information technology (HIT) informatics, and primary prevention programs.
Other stakeholders have expressed similar misgivings about the “lack of clarity” regarding the ACO’s operations and outcomes. The Office of the Health Care Advocate stated that OneCare has not supplied the GMCB with sufficient information about quality measures and financial performance results that would enable “meaningful oversight.”
