JAMA: Reform Proposals from Seven National Policy Centers and Stakeholder Coalitions Endorse V-BID

October 23, 2013 - Over the past year, diverse policy centers and stakeholder coalitions including the Bipartisan Policy Center, Brookings Institution, The Commonwealth Fund, Kaiser Family Foundation, National Coalition on Health Care, Partnership for Sustainable Health Care, and Urban Institute presented plans for reforming the US health care system. In a recent JAMA analysis of proposals from these respected organizations, Value-Based Insurance Design (V-BID) and value-based payment reform were unanimously included as key elements for sustainable health care. Administrative efficiency, spending limits, and Medicare reforms were also identified. The inclusion of V-BID in each proposal demonstrates the growing multi-stakeholder and bipartisan political consensus among experts that V-BID is essential to a high-performing health care delivery system.

V-BID Plays Key Role in Michigan Medicaid Expansion

August 1, 2013 LANSING, MI - Yesterday’s 20-18 Senate vote made Michigan the 25th state in the nation to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. The new plan—Healthy Michigan—will provide coverage to an additional 470,000 residents over the next several years. Among the provisions of the Senate version of House Bill 4714, Healthy Michigan relies on Value-Based Insurance Design (V-BID) to improve access, control costs, and enhance personal responsibility. Section 105d(1)(e) permits health plans to waive copays “to promote greater access to services that prevent the progression and complications related to chronic disease.” Health plans may also reduce enrollee contributions for meeting certain healthy behavior goals or addressing unhealthy behaviors such as alcohol and tobacco use, substance use disorders, and obesity. Moreover, Section 105d(1)(f) of the new law explicitly calls for the creation of a clinically nuanced value-based design: “By July 1, 2014, design and implement a [...]

State Innovation Models (SIM) Brief 2015 UPDATE

Originally Produced: May 2013 Updated: August 2015 The State Innovation Models Initiative: Using Clinical Nuance to Align Payer and Consumer Incentives A video overview and SIM infographic accompany this issue brief. Introduction When the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Innovation announced the State Innovation Models (SIM) Initiative in 2012, state health planners and policymakers responded to the news with great enthusiasm. The SIM program was designed with unusually broad parameters to encourage innovation in the development of new payment and delivery system models that improve health and promote efficiency. In addition, the program requires that reform strategies be coordinated across multiple plans and payers to stimulate collaboration. To aid in these measures, the SIM grants offer up to $60 million per state to support planning, testing, and model design. Many states receiving SIM funding are planning to develop payment reform projects that restructure incentives for health care providers. [...]
