The IOC was also featured in Meet Me Where I Am - a short film that premiered in the 2022 Sundance Film Festival - that tells the story of one IOC patient and how this clinic provides unique integrated care. The IOC exclusively serves a Medicaid population and operates under an alternative payment model that rewards quality, risk adjustment, care coordination, and a bonus for reducing ER visits and hospitalizations.
