3 Ways Employers Can Use Cost-sharing to Align Members
with VB Care Goals 1. Adjust cost-sharing within the episode of care using deductibles, copays, and other cost-sharing variables to discourage low-value care. 2. Use cost-sharing factors within specific episodes of care, such as shifting stop-loss thresholds or employing a preset episode budget. 3. Use rewards to promote value-based care goals in episode-based benefit plans. Notes: From an article entitled, "How Employers Can Control Costs with Episode-Based Benefit Plans," by Kelsey Waddill, based on a report from Manatt Health.
