Risk-Based Primary Care Requires Collaboration, Data Sharing, Insurance Execs Say

Primary care practitioners are working through dramatic change in the business of their profession: More PCPs than ever are working under capitation or risk-based reimbursement arrangements. That trend accelerated as physician employment increased during the worst years of the COVID-19 pandemic, with many doctors selling their independent practices to private equity, insurers or hospital systems.

Although risk-based reimbursement is well established in government books of business, the commercial market is adopting risk-based primary care payment using lessons learned in Medicare Advantage and Medicaid managed care. The transition to commercial risk-based compensation was the subject of a May 23 panel convened by the Primary Care Collaborative, a primary care policy group.
