How to Use the VBID Model for Hospice and Palliative Care
How to Use the VBID Model for Hospice and Palliative Care To be considered as a participant in the Value-Based Insurance Design (VBID) Model, Medicare Advantage Organizations (MAO) must include in their application how hospice, palliative and transitional/concurrent care will be provided, as well as the hospice-specific supplemental benefits they provide to member patients. These factors position hospice providers as the partner that MAOs need to apply and participate in the Hospice VBID model. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the 2023 VBID Model includes 52 MAOs in 49 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
