Eight-Clinic Primary Care Group Reduces Medicare and Medicaid Costs Using North Carolina's Health Information Exchange
Generations Family Practice reports 2025 Medicare costs approximately 38% below the statewide average and Medicaid loss ratios roughly 10% below state averages, leveraging North Carolina's Health Information Exchange.
Cary, N.C. – Generations Family Practice, a group of eight primary care clinics, has achieved significant cost reductions in Medicare and Medicaid services by utilizing North Carolina's Health Information Exchange (HIE).
For the 2025 projection year, the practice group's Medicare costs are approximately 38% below the statewide average. Furthermore, their projected Medicaid loss ratios are about 10% lower than the state average.
The savings are attributed to the effective use of the HIE, a system that facilitates secure and efficient sharing of patient health information among providers. This interoperability allows for better care coordination and reduces redundant services.
Cary Medical Management (CMM), the management services organization supporting Generations Family Practice, highlighted the role of data sharing in achieving these financial outcomes. CMM stated that improved data exchange leads to more efficient operations and better patient management, particularly within public payer systems.
Generations Family Practice continues to focus on expanding its services and improving access to primary care. The group aims to maintain its model of delivering cost-effective, high-quality healthcare.
