Value-based care could boost SNF reimbursement rates: Viewpoint

Many nursing homes are closing due to financial strain, but changing service models from fee-for-service to value-based care could help improve their finances, Rajeev Kumar, MD, president of AMDA-The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine, told Becker’s.

Most nursing homes are dependent on fee-for-service payments for Medicare and Medicaid, but value-based care could be the higher paying option.

“By participating in value-based care models such as I-SNPs and ACOs, facilities that strive to provide quality care for their residents and produce better outcomes can be reimbursed at a higher rate for their efforts,” he said.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
