Redeeming Value

Value-based insurance design (VBID) uses incentives to increase health care quality and to promote cost efficient health care services and consumer choices. But like all approaches to health care cost containment, VBID isn’t one-size-fits-all. For VBID to be effective—that is, promote high-quality services and discourage use of low-quality care—incentives must embrace clinical nuance, using data to assess how clinical benefits vary by person, provide and site of service. Leslie shifts from our typical “supply side” perspective to talk health care demand and how VBID engages consumers in their own health decisions with Christine Juday, Vice President at Discern Health, Real Chemistry’s consultancy focused on quality-based payment and delivery models.
