The report, “Health Plan Readiness to Operationalize Value-Based Payment Models,” defined value-based models as ACOs, patient-centered medical homes, payment for coordination, pay-for-performance for physicians and hospitals and bundled payments.

Health plan leaders were asked in telephone interviews what their implementation plans were for all six value-based models. Of 39 respondents, 87 percent said they either had implemented or were planning to implement an ACO in the next 12 to 18 months.

The following is a breakdown of responses by model.
