Value-based care has proven to lower healthcare spending while improving the health of populations. We have made significant strides in the adoption of value-based care; however, additional policy levers and incentives are needed to move all providers from fee-for-service to value. In particular, the 5% Advanced APM bonus has been a critical tool for clinicians – helping to cover the investment costs of moving to new payment models and offsetting losses associated with transitioning away from fee-for-service. However, these bonuses are set to expire soon. The health care industry is united in calling for an extension of this critical financial tool to encourage providers to make the investments needed to move away from utilization-based reimbursement models.
Join us to hear how providers are innovating care to improve patient outcomes at lower costs through value-based care and the key actions Congress can take to ensure the success of these initiatives. The first hour will feature perspectives from some of our nation’s leading providers and health systems on the barriers they have overcome transitioning to two-sided risk models and the additional flexibilities and incentives needed to support these efforts. During the second hour, you will hear directly from payers and a provider partner on how they are effectively using advanced value-based care arrangements under Medicare Advantage.
