Hi, everyone. As anticipated, CMS has released a new evaluation report of the MA Value-based Insurance Design Program, including findings from the second year of the Hospice Benefit Component (CY 2021). At first blush the findings appear to mirror those of the first year, but NAHC will be examining the evaluation more thoroughly and reporting on it.
Following are relevant links:
