Lowering health care expenditures and ensuring access to high quality medical care for Medicare beneficiaries is a health policy priority. Value-Based Insurance Design (V-BID) is an innovative approach to consumer cost-sharing that can improve quality of care and potentially lower costs in the Medicare Program. V-BID plans are designed with the tenants of clinical nuance, recognizing that the clinical benefit derived from a specific service depends on the consumer using it, as well as when, where and by whom the service is provided. The most significant opportunity for V-BID implementation lies in the Medicare Advantage (MA) program.
