As the country moves to value-based care, the number of alternative payment models is growing, and many practices are participating in more than one. Are they having trouble balancing multiple models?

It depends on the model. So, OCM [Oncology Care Model] involves so much of the patient mix of OCM practices and because of the care transformation components of the program from the get-go it’s been an area of focus for anyone that’s in OCM.

In some of the other programs, like BPCI [Bundled Payments for Care Improvement] Advanced, there is intersection and overlap with other programs, like the ACO [accountable care organization] program, for example. And those models, thought, BPCI is a great avenue to incent specialists within a primary care model, like an ACO. So, it does differ.

But from an OCM perspective we see that participants are very focused and with the movement toward downside risk in OCM, for those practices that make that choice this fall, definitely more focus on OCM because of that. Whereas a one-sided model, it’s a different beginning than being in a risk-based model.
