Managed Care Minute: February 28, 2015

Video

A one-minute look at managed care news during the week of February 23, 2015, including another step by CMS toward a quality-based payment system and more predictions on the outcomes of King v. Burwell.

This week CMS took a step toward building a quality-based payment system and unveiled a new rate proposal for Medicare Advantage and Part D drug program.

More experts are predicting that if the Supreme Court sides with the plaintiff in King v. Burwell it could mean chaos for the health insurance marketplace, as the loss of subsidies will cause healthy individuals to cancel coverage.

Finally, The American Journal of Managed Care’s ACO and Emerging Healthcare Delivery Coalition will meet live April 30 and May 1 in San Diego with keynote speaker Suzanne Delbanco, PhD, director of Catalyst for Payment Reform. Learn more here.
