Value-Based Insurance Design: Enhancing Access and Affordability to Essential Clinical Services
In this episode, I have the privilege of hosting the outstanding Dr. Mark Fendrick, a founding Partner of VBID Health and Director of the University of Michigan Center for Value-Based Insurance Design.
Dr. Fendrick educates us on VBID (Value-Based Insurance Design), what his center is doing to improve value-based care and the dilemma of how procedures are being paid vs engaging with health care consumers. He shares his insights on the impact of high-value services and low-value services, having a system that incentivizes routine care, and more. Dr. Fendrick also talks of policies he and his team helped create, and one of them resulted in getting free COVID shots for everyone in the U.S! There are many things to learn about VBID so please tune in!
