DOH hosted a webinar last week to present its plans for quality measurement under MLTC VBP to its Clinical Advisory Group.

LeadingAge NY submitted comments on DOH's recently announced requirement that partially-capitated MLTC plans begin to shift provider contracts to VBP arrangements involving two-sided risk in 2019.

The Department of Health's FAQs provide basic information about the new requirement for PACE, MAP, and FIDA plans to enter into value-based payment arrangements with network providers by March 31, 2018.

The webinar included presentations from VillageCareMAX, an MLTC plan, and a LHCSA about their value-based payment strategies.

DOH has presented their revised vision for Level 2 VBP arrangements for partially-capitated plans and is seeking comments.

Under the Department's proposals, at least 5 percent of partially-capitated plan expenditures would have to be in two-sided risk arrangements by April 1, 2019. MAP, FIDA, and PACE plans must reach a target of 10 percent of expenditures in VBP arrangements by April 1, 2018 or face penalties; new measure sets apply to those arrangements.
