Transcript

With more novel, costly therapies being approved and patients being responsible for more costs, how do you think this will impact the prevalence and popularity of value-based agreements?

I think it will absolutely increase the speed to value-based care and also the kinds of arrangements that we will see going forward. There are quite a few creative ideas emerging. Amongst them the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association has a number of direct contracting type models to eliminate the need for a provider to invest in the cost of a medication and to thereby gain perhaps somewhat of a discount and facilitate the patient care delivery without incurring as much out of pocket costs for the patient.
