CVS Could Become New Primary Care Source
State health regulators reiterated their uncertainty about the scope of primary care services that Mass General Brigham and CVS MinuteClinic could deliver as they released a finalized report Thursday that advances the pending partnership while incorporating new stipulations on care delivery. After initiating a rare probe in September of the clinical affiliation that's poised to transform 37 MinuteClinic sites into primary care clinics, the Health Policy Commission board voted to release the final cost and market impact review. The movement came as the Senate released a primary care reform bill to pump significantly more money into the sector and expand the workforce.
