Word of the Day
Value A. Increase Quality, Costs same B. Decrease Costs, Quality same C. Increase Quality, Decrease Costs
V Cost/Quality Time
So in order to reduce cost….
A. Decrease in # units B. Decrease in $/unit C. BOTH!!
Costs Rate ($/Unit) x Utilization (#Units)
• Healthplan Cost = Provider Revenue
• Healthplan reduces price
• Providers incentivized to
Cost = Rate x Utilization
Increase Utilization
wait for it……..

Let’s talk about Nomenclature
• Accountable Care Organizations – ACO’s are funded by the ACA and specifically address traditional Medicare
• Clinically Integrated Networks
• Physician Hospital Organizations
• Independent Physicians Associations – Primary Care
– Multispecialty
• Single TIN Groups
All can be Value-Based Networks
VBN’s *All of the attributed lives in the
Medicare column are through the MSSP or Next Generation
programs. **PCPs is total MD/DO and
midlevel practitioners
This table illustrates attributed lives for many Value-based Networks in Arizona.
While this list is comprehensive, we know there are other VBN's in Arizona
not accounted for in this report and table.
The data was aggregated by The Hertel Report, sourced from responses directly
from the VBN’s. Summer 2018

Value-Base Contracting Complex, Evolving, and Targeted to Guarantee Performance
9/26/2018 31
Fair deals require significant collaboration, trust, and transparency between payer and provider
Gainsharing Model may appear straight-forward but details matter.
Member attribution is foundational
Target setting complex and fraught with dangers
Minimum risk corridors can shift savings to payors
Quality Adjustments can be inappropriately biased to payor
Random variation necessitates careful thought about outlier methodologies or stop-loss provisions
Medical inflation and benchmarking populations need careful consideration
