Modeled Health and Economic Impact of Team-Based Care for Hypertension
This study estimates the prospective health, economic, and budgetary impact of universal adoption of a team-based care intervention model that targets people with treated but uncontrolled hypertension in the US. Results show that nationwide adoption of the model would decrease the number of people with uncontrolled hypertension and number of cardiovascular events. Based on the study’s assumptions, the policy would be cost saving from the perspective of Medicare and may prove to be cost effective from other payers’ perspectives. Expected net cost savings for Medicare would more than offset expected net costs for all other insurers.
