The Value-Based Healthcare Revolution is Here: A discussion of bundled payments & the new world of quality over quantity

Please note that this is a lunch program that starts at Noon. 

Deadline to Register:  Tuesday, May 17, 2016

CJR.  Never heard of it? You're not alone. But the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement bundled payment model is just one of the value-based programs the federal government believes will revolutionize health care delivery and reimbursement. 

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has set an aggressive goal of tying 90% of all traditional Medicare payments to quality by 2018 through alternative payment models and value-based payments.  But HHS is equally committed to this value-based ideology transcending Medicare, as it created the Health Care Payment Learning and Action Network to intensify efforts to support and encourage private payers, providers, employers, and states to adopt alternative payment models that incentivize quality in health care delivery. 

This program will provide an overview of the CJR model as a vehicle to understanding how HHS is implementing value-based methodologies that will soon be ubiquitous in the healthcare industry. David Glaser (Fredrikson & Byron) will analyze the CJR model with commentary from Angela Eberhardt (Medica) on how bundled payments are arising in the commercial space. 

The Health Law Section's Annual Meeting will be held at Noon followed immediately by the CLE presentation from 12:15-1:15 p.m.  As part of the annual meeting, the section will elect new officers and council members for the 2016-2017 term.

Special meal requests need to be received no later than Tuesday, May 17.

Presenters:

Angela Eberhardt | Senior Director of Alternative Contract Design, Medica
David M. Glaser | Shareholder, Fredrikson & Byron P.A.
