 BV Care Network Providers

 

The BVCN is a large group of providers in the Boulder region who have organized themselves as a clinically collaborative entity via a Memorandum of Understanding. They are directed by a formal Steering Committee comprising of leaders from each provider group or IPA.

Their purpose is to collaborate with each other in order to:

1)      create policies, procedures, and protocols to assist the provider parties in working on the Boulder Valley School District’s (BVSD) Clinical Quality Plan and

2)      to expand their capabilities to enable the parties to offer similar collaborative solutions to other regional employer benefit plans and

3)      to improve the health of the people in the region.  

All clinical programs are overseen by the Medical Directors Advisory Committee, which is made up of physicians from each provider group.  The BVCN is an Organized Health Care Arrangement (OHCA) under HIPPA, enabling these providers to share clinical data amongst themselves in their efforts towards clinical quality and integration.

The BVCN covers all of Boulder County, Broomfield County, South West Weld County and South Larimer County. It includes the cities of Boulder, Longmont, Broomfield, Lafayette, Louisville, Erie, Niwot, Superior, Firestone, Frederick and Dacono. There are over 600,000 people in the service area.

 Generic Prescription drugs

 

 

In an effort to reduce the financial barrier to appropriate care, local physicians from the Boulder Valley Care Network (www.mybvcn.org), in partnership with BVSD and Express Scripts, identified certain high quality drugs to reduce co-payments. Beginning July 1, 2011, for members on the Standard and Basic Plans, the co-pays for 33 prescription drugs will be $0.

 

 
See the shopper’s guide to information from the Consumer Reports Health Best Buy Drugs™ project. The mission of the Consumer Reports Health Best Buy Drugs™ project is to provide consumers and their doctors with information to help guide prescription drug choices–based on effectiveness, a drug's track record, safety and price.
 
Prescription drugs come in two basic forms–brand name drugs and generic drugs. Generic drugs are copies of brand medicines whose patents have expired. A generic drug has exactly the same active ingredients as the brand drug it copies. The only difference is price and how the pills look: generics are much less expensive and by law are not allowed to look exactly like the brands they copy (a certain color or shaped pill, for example).
 
The project’s recommendation is that you talk to your doctor about your prescription when it is being written in his or her office. You should inquire whether the prescription is for a brand or generic, and learn why your doctor has prescribed one or the other.
