Understanding Clinical Nuance
Clinical nuance is one of the core tenets of value-based insurance design, which is one possible solution to alleviate the financial burden Americans face as they are asked to pay a greater percentage of their healthcare expenditures.
This article was collaboratively written by A. Mark Fendrick, MD, director of the V-BID Center, and several V-BID Center staff.
As Americans are asked to pay a greater percentage of their healthcare expenditures, cost-related nonadherence is an important and growing problem. A potential solution—Value-Based Insurance Design (VBID)—is built on the principle of lowering or removing financial barriers to essential, high-value clinical services and providers. VBID plans align patients’ out-of-pocket costs, such as copayments, with the value of services.
Clinical nuance is one of the core tenets of VBID. This concept recognizes 2 important facts about the provision of medical care: 1) medical services differ in the amount of health produced; and 2) the clinical benefit derived from a medical service depends on who is using it, who is delivering the service, and where it is being delivered.
