Palliative Care Payment Trends Provide ‘Plethora of Data’ for Policymaking
A Palliative Care News article discusses how the 2024 palliative care payment landscape is evolving, with value-based models demonstrating cost savings and improved quality. That said, reimbursement cuts for palliative care clinicians present challenges for the field. Per CAPC's CEO, Brynn Bowman, MPA, clinicians need to understand the insights gained from payment models in the space. "It’s important to help palliative care teams understand how to leverage payments that didn’t exist before for the work that they’re doing and just haven’t been reimbursed for historically. Knowing the requirements [helps] so they’re not leaving money on the table for doing what’s really important for patients and being able to navigate the health system with that added layer of support.”
