Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace officials are hoping to get more plans into value-based care arrangements as regulators hope to not just build on getting people covered, according to federal officials.
Officials with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) spoke Thursday at the Health Care Payment Learning and Action Network Summit on value-based care, and one of the key takeaways was how agency officials are pushing to align quality standards across government programs like Medicare, Medicaid and the ACA exchanges to spur greater investment in value-based care.
Agency officials said a lot of effort on the ACA’s insurance marketplaces has focused on enrollment and expanding coverage. The ACA exchanges boasted a record-high 14.5 million sign-ups for the 2022 coverage year, thanks in part to enhanced premium subsidies that are in effect through 2025.
