Over the past several years, the big trend in healthcare has been to inch away from fee-for-servicereimbursement and toward value-based care, in which a provider s reimbursement is tied more to clinical quality than to volume. The industry, policymakers and the federal government have attempted this shift through a number of legal and regulatory means, and one policy that has proven popular in this regard, among both providers and payers, is direct contracting.
In basic terms, direct contracting is a population-based model that allows for the use of capitation. This is what sets it apart: Aside from Next Gen and Pioneer, virtually all of the other compensation-based models from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services are billed as fee-for-service, with a reconciliation 18 months later.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki rejected the “superspreader” label. She said that was “not a characterization we’re making here” and praised the Texas Democrats for drawing attention to H.R. 1, the far-reaching Democratic elections bill stuck in the Senate.
“Our message continues to be ‘thanks for standing up for voting rights and the rights of Americans to have their voice heard at the voting booth,’ and we appreciate their efforts in that regard,” Ms. Psaki said at the White House press briefing Tuesday.
At this point, however, the nearly 60 Texas House Democrats who absconded from the state July 12 to break quorum and prevent an elections bill from passing the Republican-controlled House may have become more of a liability than an asset.
