Signify Health and Aspen Physicians Network are partnering to expand episodes of care in North Texas, realigning incentives for providers, simplifying the payment process, and saving healthcare payers money along the way.
Episodes of care are a growing trend in the value-based care world, where bundled payments include all services associated with the treatment for an illness or condition, rather than being charged for every test, procedure, or image. As the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services continue to incentivize providers to save money via value-based care, providers adjust and coordinate to provide quality, efficient care that doesn’t result in extra or unnecessary costs.
