THE VITAL ROLE OF POST-ACUTE NETWORK PARTNERS
With the growth in value-based care, we know that payers, including health plans like yours, are beginning to work more closely with post-acute network (PAN) providers to improve care and reduce costs. As an essential part of post-acute management strategy, your provider partners represent a prime opportunity to close the gap on payment and performance, helping you to succeed in value-based care outcomes.
With post-acute care accounting for nearly $60B of Medicare spend (MedPAC 2021), the performance of your network partners is inevitably tied to your outcomes. But are you getting real value out of your PAN providers?
