Value-based care (VBC) is a crucial step towards improving access, equity, and quality healthcare for Americans.

Since the inception of Blue Cross Blue Shield in the 1930s, the US healthcare system has relied primarily on fee-for-service (FFS) payment practices. Essentially, you go to the doctor for a specific need, the doctor serves that specific need, the doctor is paid for that service.

While this may seem like a natural payment practice, America’s decades of loyalty to FFS have contributed to skyrocketing healthcare costs and sinking healthcare outcomes.
