The transition from treating patients at a provider’s site to delivering care in the home and community requires two things: an ability to incorporate social determinants of health (SDOH) into the care coordination process and the inclusion of value-based care (VBC) and community-based organizations (CBOs) as compensated care delivery partners in VBC networks.
For health plans, risk-bearing providers and risk bearing entities (i.e., altogether referred to as “payers”) alike, we recommended implementing a Partner Onboarding Model that enables scale today and flexibility in the future. In this article, we explore the current environment and how payers and providers can take the critical first step to add CBOs to their VBC contracts and ensure they are compensated.
