Hi, everyone. This is a quick note to let you know that CMS has released its second evaluation report for the overall MA VBID model. This report includes the first "take" on the MA VBID Hospice Component model. There is also a summary document of the evaluation of the hospice model. Initial impressions include that a small number of patients were enrolled under the model (less than 10,000 for CY2021) and only a small number received transitional concurrent care benefits. We will be conducting further analysis. In the meantime, following are links to the relevant document:
