Many hospitals are experiencing increasing workflow challenges due to high inflation rates. As a result, government and commercial payers are responding in unique ways.  

On this episode of Value-Based Care Insights, host Daniel J. Marino discusses economic challenges in health care, particularly hospitals and physicians. We’re joined by commercial insurance and government reimbursement expert, Cliff Frank. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS: 

• Hospitals and other health care facilities are facing a number of challenges, and inflation is a key component to internal issues. It’s essential that providers have an understanding on how to navigate an ever-changing infrastructure.
• Risk contracting has been a common issue for hospitals as payers are making money on empty hospitals and slower ORs. This obviously increases the need for better contracts between payers and providers.
• The ACO module has changed drastically, impacting how care is coordinated for Medicare patients.
