Description: View the Value-Based Payment Arrangements – Past and Future.

Description: Health care continues to move from a fee-for-service model to a value-based care model. Hear from our expert panel on how actuaries can play a key role in the design and contracting of value-based agreements, monitoring experience and driving results, as well as measurement of value. The discussion will cover different structures currently in use, types of services covered (total cost of care, claim service lines, specialties, condition based, pharmacy products, etc), as well as nuances by market (Medicare FFS, MA, Commercial, Medicaid). The panel will discuss latest innovations in the value-based care space, as well as how COVID-19 has impacted these contracts. This interactive session will also allow you to ask your questions to our diverse group of panelists.

Description: Misalignment in value-based care approaches between payers and market segments (Medicare, Medicaid, self-funded employer groups, and commercial insurance) creates significant headwinds and friction for health care providers seeking to succeed in an environment that is moving toward more value-based care models and payment approaches. However, while multi-payer approaches in value-based care are critical to eliminating these misalignments, uptake in such programs has been lagging for a variety of reasons. Hear about lessons learned from a selection of specific multi-payer initiatives to understand what went well and what challenges were encountered in expanding these initiatives more broadly. You should be able to walk away from this session with an appreciation of the potential for multi-payer approaches and the challenges faced in gaining traction with them.
