It is widely recognized that the U.S. health care system must transition from a fee-for-service/ fee-for-product (volume-based) payment framework to a value based paradigm to achieve better clinical outcomes, lower costs and improve the patient experience. Value Based Arrangements (VBAs) condition or modify payment based upon the results achieved (clinical, cost, and/or patient experience outcomes). The current fraud and abuse laws deter broader and more comprehensive engagement in patient-centered value based arrangements. This panel will examine relevant proposed rules, and in particular the new Anti-Kickback Statute Safe Harbor proposed rules and its implications for future arrangements and activities.
