Webinar: VBID Health Equity Business Case for MAOs

Has your organization prioritized addressing health inequities? How can a Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) Model factor into your organization’s health equity strategy? How can you structure your plan’s benefits to have the greatest impact on underserved communities? What partnership opportunities are available with CMMI?

These are important questions CMMI plans to answer in a new webinar series focused on health equity! CMMI is sponsoring a series of webinars for current and potential Medicare Advantage Organization (MAO) participants in the Value-Based Insurance Design (VBID) Model.

The first webinar in the series provided an overview of the Model’s Health Equity Incubation Sessions effort, articulated a business case for MAOs to leverage VBID Model Components to address health inequities in their member populations, and provided specific guidance and clarification on the full extent of health equity focused flexibilities that fall under the Model’s waiver authority.
