Discover the Impact of COVID-19 on Value-Based Payment—During the Crisis and Into the Future—at a New Manatt Webinar.

COVID-19 is likely to bring substantial disruption to value-based payment (VBP), immediately and in the long term. Many worry that the pandemic will impede our progress toward value-based care, as providers focus on making up lost revenues and become fearful of putting dollars at risk. A recent survey by the National Association of Accountable Care Organizations (NAACOS) shows that 60% of respondents in risk-based models report they are likely to quit the ACO program to avoid financial losses from the pandemic. Others predict, however, that the pandemic will be a boost to VBP, highlighting the benefits of financing healthcare based on value rather than volume. Both sides can agree on one thing: there will be change.

How will COVID-19 really impact VBP arrangements—and reshape how providers and payers think about the path to value? How will it drive redesigned incentives that give providers the flexibility to respond effectively to the current pandemic—and to future public health emergencies? Find out at a new Manatt webinar. The program will answer critical questions about COVID-19 and VBP, including:

How will COVID-19 impact health spending—during the crisis and beyond?
How will COVID-19 transform how providers and payers approach VBP—and define incentives?
What new changes and flexibilities has the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced to its VBP models—including the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP), other ACOs and bundled payment arrangements—in light of the pandemic?
What effects will COVID-19 have on investments in infrastructure, such as data and analytic capabilities, care managers and social supports?
How are states, health systems and payers deploying existing population health resources, set up for VBP, to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic?
How are pay for performance and pay for reporting likely to evolve?
How will the COVID-19 crisis affect shared savings, capitation and global budget arrangements?
