What You Should Know

• The Report: Humana’s newly released Value-Based Care By the Numbers Report, reveals that Medicare Advantage members in value-based care (VBC) arrangements are seeing significantly better outcomes than those in traditional models.
• The Data: The impact is measurable and massive: VBC patients experienced 24.3% fewer hospital admissions and 13.4% fewer emergency room visits in 2024.
• The Shift: The report validates the industry’s transition from “reactive” fee-for-service medicine to “proactive” team-based care, proving that more time with primary care doctors leads to less time in the hospital.
