Making Value-Based Care Work at Scale: What Health Plans Are Changing in Risk, ROI, and Execution

Making Value-Based Care Work at Scale: What Health Plans Are Changing in Risk, ROI, and Execution

Value-based care is entering a more demanding phase: health plans are being forced to distinguish between arrangements that need better execution, contracts that need to be redesigned, and strategies that may no longer justify additional investment.

In this Bright Spots in Healthcare discussion, senior health plan leaders will examine how they are making those calls across increasingly complex VBC portfolios. The conversation will focus on the decisions behind performance: how plans identify what is actually driving results, determine which levers are still movable, allocate attention across competing contracts, and use earlier insight to act before underperformance becomes difficult to reverse.

We’ll explore:

  • Separating fixable performance issues from structural contract problems
  • Identifying which financial, utilization, and provider signals deserve action
  • Deciding where to invest, intervene, renegotiate, or pull back
  • Connecting actuarial insight with clinical and operational decisions
  • Building a more disciplined approach to managing VBC performance across a portfolio

Join us to explore how health plan leaders are sharpening VBC strategy, acting earlier on performance signals, and focusing resources where they can have the greatest impact.
