How the Value in Health Care Act Could Change Palliative Care Payment
A Palliative Care News article explains the newly-introduced Value in Health Care Act, which would enhance palliative care reimbursement by updating the parameters of Alternative Payment Models (APMs) to encourage participation in Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs).
CAPC's Allison Silvers, MBA, says "The [Value in Health Care Act] is talking about doing a better alignment between payers and better clarity around what outcomes providers are trying to achieve. With that alignment, palliative care has a stronger case to greatly improve quality and reduce spending."
