The role of MA in supporting VBC

Implementing flexible payment models that reward improved health outcomes rather than just service volume can:    

•  Incentivize providers to offer quality care
•  Demonstrate how MA VBC arrangements lead to better patient outcomes

Reliable funding for MA is crucial because many providers rely on it to participate in VBC models across all payers. When funding is steady, providers can focus on delivering high-quality care. This stability also allows payers to make significant, long-term investments that help providers succeed in VBC.
