Regulatory Improvements in Value-based Models

AMGA supports efforts to transition Medicare into a value-based purchaser of health care and recommends a number of reforms to eliminate legacy requirements from fee-for-service reimbursement that are not applicable in value-based models of care. A number of regulations impede the transition to value. These include streamlining quality measurement efforts, facilitating the use of preferred provider lists for post-acute care, and eliminating the 3-day qualifying inpatient stay requirement for skilled nursing care.
