Advancing Affordability.

Igniting Innovation.

Two images appear in this graphic. The first is a man and a woman sitting together. They are both holding papers. The woman is using a pen to point at the paper and the man is trying to read the text she is pointing to. In the second photo, a woman in medical scrubs smiles while holding a tablet computer. She has a stethoscope around her neck.

WHO WE ARE

The Massachusetts Payer Provider Partnership

In response to growing affordability and access challenges, Massachusetts hospitals and health plans joined forces to create the Massachusetts Payer-Provider Partnership (MP3). MP3 is a first-of-its-kind organization dedicated to finding common ground, advancing shared solutions and innovations, and driving sustainable change.

Four people are sitting around a conference room table. At the head of the table, a woman in a lab coat sits with a laptop open and a screen containing charts behind her. A man in scrubs stands behind her. Another woman in a suit is sitting to her left, listening to a woman to her left. The woman to the left is wearing scrubs and leaning on the table. She appears to be talking.

MP3 is built upon a belief that progress depends on innovative collaboration and problem solving between the two largest stewards of the healthcare system.

A woman is sitting in a wheelchair. She is smiling at the camera. Another woman in medical scrubs stands behind her and has her arms wrapped around the woman's shoulders.

WHO WE ARE

A Unique Partnership

MP3 is a unique type of platform. It is designed to identify and pilot shared ideas between institutions that deliver care and organizations that pay for care.

Both provider and payer organizations have long expressed an interest in this type of collaborative model, which will allow them to break through traditional divisions and drill down on practical solutions that can be implemented within their respective organizations.

WHAT WE DO

MP3 In Action

MP3 will focus on practical, collaborative solutions, and members will pilot those solutions within their own organizations and populations with the goal of scaling successful reforms statewide.

Example areas of focus may include:

Streamlining and modernizing administrative processes

Fostering innovative care and payment models

Data sharing and optimization

Addressing cost drivers that undermine stability

Given the volume and complexity of today’s healthcare challenges, MP3 believes that sustainable progress is only possible through innovation and collaboration.
