302. Value-Based Purchasing Insurance Design (VBID): The Road Ahead! is proudly presented to you by National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
Description:
The Medicare Advantage Value-Based Insurance Design (VBID) Hospice Benefit Component demonstration entered Phase 4 January 2024. In a shocking turn of events, the VBID Hospice Carve-In is set to end December 31, 2024. Most MA Organizations have chosen to volunteer participation for at least one of their MA Benefit Plan Packages, which makes Hospice Care among their benefit offerings. This session will provide a deep dive into key elements of the model, including various hospice providers’ experience under the model, key considerations related to contracting with MA plans as an in-network hospice provider and what providers that are out of network must consider. Lessons learned during this demonstration will be a focus as well as what involvement of Medicare Advantage is expected for hospices in the future.
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify key elements of the MA-VBID Hospice Benefit Component.
2. List key elements of contracting with MA plans to be In-Network.
3. Discuss changing requirements from one model year to the next, and benefits for agencies that are In-Network.
