The State of Value-Based Health Care w/ John Marchica, Darwin Research Group

Episode Description

After a year of interviews about value-based care, the same things keep coming up. Fee-for-service is still the problem. Payers want to pay less, providers want to bill more. And twenty years in, the people who helped build value-based care are grading it a C-minus.

In his first solo episode, host John Marchica goes back through the transcripts and pulls out what guests agree on: the problems value-based care is trying to fix, the fixes they keep proposing — mandatory participation, full-risk capitation, payer-provider integration — how it's going so far, and where the real progress is likely to come from.
