NHPCO Comment
"NHPCO has long advocated that
any serious illness alternative
payment model (APM) must
balance population health and
value-based care goals with the
imperative to respond to
patients' unique care needs," said
NHPCO President and CEO Edo
Banach, JD. "Key to the success
of any model will be protecting
and expanding access to highquality palliative care and hospice
services, and we will continue to
advocate for integration of
access to hospice care as a
quality metric in the evaluation of
the new Primary Care First and
Director Contracting Models."
Judi Lund Person, MPH,
NHPCO's Vice President,
Regulatory and Compliance.
Lori Bishop, MHA, BSN, RN,
NHPCO's Vice President,
Palliative and Advanced Care.

Don't Forget about Hospice & MA
Providers should also remember
that In January 2019, CMS
announced a demonstration
involving updates to the existing
model of Medicare Advantage.
Included in this demonstration is
the option for MA plans to offer
the Medicare hospice benefit
under a Values Based Insurance
Delivery (VBID) model beginning
in 2020. Currently, the voluntary
VBID model is being utilized by 13
plans in 10 states.

Hospice providers should be
aware of opportunities to build or
deepen relationships with MA
plans serving their area. There
may be contracting options for
palliative care as well as being a
contracted hospice provider.
Providers are advised to start
discussions now with MA plan if
they have not yet done so.
Before NHPCO can offer a
position either way on the MA
carve-in, we need more
information from CMS and need
to discuss how the demo would
work. NHPCO is partnering with
Better Medicare Alliance, to
engage in a mutual collaboration
addressing the challenges and
opportunities associated with
possible policy changes. Materials
from previous presentations are
available on the "Models and
Demos" page online.
