Dear Reps. Welch, DelBene, LaHood:
On behalf of the undersigned organizations, we thank you for your leadership to ensure that value-based health care continues to serve Medicare patients by embracing higher value and lower cost. The Value in Health Care Act of 2020 makes a number of important reforms to strengthen Medicare’s value-based care models and Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) to ensure that these models continue to produce high quality care for the Medicare program and its beneficiaries as well as to generate savings for taxpayers. With estimates showing almost forty percent1 of healthcare dollars are tied to value-based payment and goals to increase that percent moving forward, the value-based care movement is at a critical juncture.
