The new network is designed to help healthcare stakeholders move towards value-based payments. CMS invites all payers, providers, employers, purchasers, states and consumers to participate in the network.
Goals of the network include:
• Bringing together participants through events such as meetings, working groups and webinars
• Facilitating the delivery of better healthcare
• Improved spending of healthcare dollars
• Providing its members with support
Participating members will be asked to set organization-specific goals for alternative payment models and participate in progress reporting within the first six months of joining.
Anthem and Cigna have already joined the network.
