Accountable Care Academy: As health centers continue to transition to value-based care and population health, more and more payer contracts include some form of risk (or financial burden for the services provided versus the amount of reimbursement expected in return). NACHC’s Accountable Care Academy is a 4- part webinar series focused on the fundamental considerations for risk-based contracts and how to prepare health centers for participation in arrangements with risk. Each session will be led by Adam Falcone, Esq., of FTLF. The following sessions are now available for registration:

• 6/3:  Risk-Based Payment Methodologies:
  • • The first webinar will lay the groundwork for transitioning from a volume to value environment.   It will discuss the fundamentals and outline the various types of value based and population based payments and the risk associated with each.
• 6/17:  General Considerations Under Federal Law/FQHC Payment Protections:
  • • This webinar will discuss health center participation in and the legal considerations to be aware of when considering VBP contract arrangements.  Payment protections under Medicare and Medicaid, including alternative payment methodologies (APMs), will also be included.
• 7/15:  VBP Contracting Safeguards:
  • • This session will provide a deeper dive into the opportunities and challenges to be aware of when participating in VNP contracts and how to protect your organization.   Attribution, benchmark calculations, capitation methodology, and minimizing down-size risk exposure are just a few of the topics discussed.
• 7/29:  Field Representative Stories:
  • • An opportunity to hear from your peers from across the country as each describe their journey and experience preparing for and managing risk.  The field representatives will represent both geographic diversity and contracting diversity, with one that contracts mostly for P4P incentives (and some foundational payments), one that contracts for shared savings, and the third that contracts on a primary care capitation basis with P4P. There will be additional time to engage with the legal expert and your peers.   Speakers include:
    • Henry Tuttle, CEO of Health Center Partners of Southern California
    • Meghann Hardesty, Executive Director, Community Health IPA (of New York State)
    • Rene Cabral-Daniels, CEO of Cenevia (formerly Community Care Network of Viriginia)
