Value-based care continues to account for a substantial share of U.S. healthcare payments, underscoring sustained payer investment in payment models that link reimbursement to quality and cost outcomes.
The findings come from a survey released by AHIP in collaboration with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Danielle Lloyd, M.P.H., AHIP’s senior vice president of private market innovations and quality initiatives for Clinical Affairs, told Healthcare Finance News there are encouraging signs about future growth because of a growing pipeline of participants that extends beyond primary care physicians to organizations, such as nursing homes and Federally Qualified Health Clinics.
“Also, note overall performance within these models remains successful at driving improvements for patients and that their commitment to these models is unwavering,” she said.
Lloyd explained health plans and providers are making strides toward greater data interoperability that will continue.
