WEBINAR DETAILS

This webinar will expound on the details of the Value-Based Insurance Design (VBID) Model focusing on the Hospice Benefit Component. Until recently, Medicare Advantage has traditionally covered home health patients, but never hospice. The VBID demonstration began January 1, 2021. There are 19 Medicare Advantage Organizations participating in 2023 and even more expected in 2024. In addition to hospice care, there is an expansion of palliative care services that will be offered to patients through the MAOs. This webinar will review the coverage differences for in-network versus out-of-network providers. It will also review the CMS requirements for MAOs to provide beneficiaries with broad access to the complete original Medicare hospice benefit.

• Outline the participation requirements for Medicare Advantage Organizations (MAOs)
• Recognize the MAOs and states that are participating in the 2023 VBID demonstration
• List the criteria for a hospice to receive payment if a patient has a MAO participating plan
