Are commercial payers beginning to have a bigger presence in value-based care?

There’s a broad spectrum of what constitutes value-based care, and pathways clearly exists within that spectrum.
I think payers will all adopt some sort of “value-based care program.” It might not be what the folks at OncoCloud consider value-based care, but it is by the strictest sense of the word a model of care.
