Nearly fifteen years ago, the Affordable Care Act accelerated movement toward value-based payment (VBP) models, but progress has been uneven. While shifting away from fee-for-service models has been shown to increase equitable access, reduce cost and—most importantly—improve patient outcomes, these outcomes are not guaranteed, especially with a payment lever alone.
Robust evaluations have demonstrated that the disproportionate focus on cost reduction in certain early VBP models neither produced consistent cost savings nor led to broader care transformation. In some cases, VBP models have had unintended consequences, disadvantaging safety net providers and worsening health inequities. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, public and private payers as well as leading health policy experts and advisory bodies began calling for a more nuanced approach.
