Brown University Health's primary care group has eliminated its home care monitoring programs for approximately 700 patients diagnosed with heart failure, high blood pressure, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) [8]. These programs, which were terminated as of May 5, allowed nurses and health coaches to remotely monitor patients using blood pressure cuffs, oxygen monitoring devices, scales, and other medical equipment linked to software programs [8]. The reason for the termination is that Rhode Island's largest health system blamed insurance premiums for failing to keep pace with rising healthcare costs [8]. Brown University Health inherited the home care monitoring programs in 2021 when it acquired Coastal Medical. Brown Health's overall health costs exceeded the targets set in the value-based insurance contracts, the company faced steep financial penalties [8]. BCBSRI declined to discuss its contract with Brown Health, saying its contracts with providers are “confidential,” [8].
