Overview
Success in value-based contracts requires FQHCs to make investments in infrastructure, new models of care, and staff to operationalize those models. Budgeting must consider expense and revenue trends expected with continuation of current operations while also superimposing projections that are specific to the value-based agreements and expected performance. Health Management Associates (HMA) has developed a modeling tool that helps to inform FQHCs in their pursuit of advanced alternative payment models (APM)s that include shared savings/risk agreements.
Learning Objectives
This tool is directed to health centers at the ‘Implementing’ or ‘Optimizing’ stages of value-based payment but can be informative to health centers at other stages of progression toward value-based payment. This financial modeling tool also tests the impact of transitioning from fee-for-service reimbursement to prospective payment for primary care and behavioral health services.
It is specifically designed for FQHCs, their unique means of financing, and UDS reporting requirements. It has already been used by 34 FQHCs. This financial modeling tool is available to all FQHC at no cost. This webinar will demonstrate the tool and how to use it.
