OneCare to appeal regulatory order with cap on executive pay
VTDigger
The extent of the Green Mountain Care Board’s ability to regulate the state’s only “all-payer” accountable care organization may end up being decided in court.
OneCare Vermont on Friday filed a brief notice with the Vermont Supreme Court stating that the organization plans to appeal an order by the Green Mountain Care Board that, among other findings, required the accountable care organization to reduce executive salaries for 2023. The full motion to appeal is not due to the court for another 30 days.
The order in question was a revision to the regulators’ approval of OneCare’s 2023 budget, originally decided last December. The late-breaking decision by BlueCross BlueShield of Vermont that month not to contract with OneCare in 2023 led the board to determine it needed to approve a revised budget reflecting that and other changes.
