Value-Based Care Opportunities in Medicaid
The purpose of this letter is to provide information on how states can advance value-based care
(VBC) across their healthcare systems, with a particular emphasis on Medicaid populations, and
to share pathways for adoption of such approaches with interested states. VBC seeks to hold
providers accountable for providing high quality care, and can also be a part of the solution to
reduce health disparities in the healthcare system, to maximize benefits to patients, and to
eliminate unnecessary procedures.
