Value-based care programs incentivize healthcare providers for providing high-quality care to Medicare beneficiaries and truly supports the goal of providing better care for individuals, better care for the population, and lowering costs. Value-based programs are important in achieving valued-based care as these programs help providers focus on quality of care, not quantity. A few Alternative Payment Models (APM) include advance care planning as a required quality measure, including BPCI Advanced and the Radiation Oncology Model.
