Value-Based Care and Delivery System Reform
Value-based care (VBC) ties payments to the quality of care provided and patient outcomes. As the health care landscape recognizes this shift from volume to value, state Medicaid programs are working with their federal partners at CMS to innovate at the forefront of payment and delivery of health care. Sellers Dorsey collaborates with policy makers to develop and negotiate state Medicaid reform initiatives, including waivers and pre-prints, value-based purchasing arrangements, expansion of managed care to new populations, and other services.
With a deep knowledge of Medicaid managed care programs, we have experience to implement proven concepts and insight to develop effective new approaches. Medicaid programs, providers, and managed care organizations alike wish to leverage the potential of value-based care, and Sellers Dorsey is a capable partner in this important area.
