SUMMARY:Webcast: How value-based insurance design breaks down barriers to care
DESCRIPTION:Watch a recording of this webcast.\nSpeaker’s presentation\n\n\nA. Mark Fendrick\, M.D. \n\n\nResources\n\n\nInsurance: Resources in AHCJ’s core topic area \n\n\nCenter for Value-Based Insurance Design \n\n\n@UM_VBID on Twitter \n\n\nSubscribe to the V-BID e-newsletter \n\n\n\nMark Fendrick\, M.D.\, the director of the Center for Value-Based Insurance Design (VBID) at the University of Michigan\, will explain the principals of VBID and why this strategy is important for consumers. Most health insurers do not use VBID when implementing cost-sharing strategies with consumers. Instead they use what Fendrick calls a “one-size-fits-all approach\,” such as high copayments and high-deductible health plans. \nYet\, these cost-sharing strategies can be a financial barrier to care for low-income patients who have chronic illnesses and thus need access to low-cost medications and medical services. When such financial barriers are reduced\, the result is increased patient compliance with physicians’ recommendations\, Fendrick says. \nDuring the webcast\, Fendrick will explain the concept of VBID and discuss why a bill\, just introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives\, is needed to allow the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to start a VBID demonstration project for members of Medicare Advantage plans. Insurance core topic leader Joe Burns will discuss story ideas and resources for reporting with Fendrick. \n<!– \nNOTE: This is a webcast exclusively for AHCJ members so you will need to have your website username and password.
