This CLE course will provide guidance to counsel for healthcare providers and payors on managing the shift from fee-for-service to value-based alternative payment models (APM). The panel will discuss evolving state regulatory schemes and how to overcome the challenges presented by state regulations when transitioning to an APM.

Description

Healthcare payors and providers are working to align financial incentives and allocate financial risk so that providers are absorbing more of the financial burden in exchange for increased patient volume and greater potential financial gains. State approaches to regulating these value-based APMs vary and are continuing to evolve, creating new legal and operational challenges for health plans and providers as the shift to APMs accelerates.

Both health plans and providers need to understand the legal landscape, how different states are approaching the task of protecting providers and patients, and how to deal most effectively with the regulatory challenges—including creative structures to minimize regulatory burdens.

Listen as our authoritative panel of healthcare attorneys examines the current regulatory environment and provides insight into different state regulatory approaches. The panel will also provide guidance to navigating the new regulations and overcoming the challenges while making the transition to APMs.
