Modern Healthcare: Why home health expansions are a power play in value-based care

Why this matters

Expanding operations gives home health providers more leverage with insurers seeking fewer partners and broader geographic coverage.
Providers’ ability to staff cases, improve outcomes and prevent hospitalizations is becoming more important to winning payer contracts.
BAYADA’s $28 million in savings shows how supporting complex patients at home can reduce reliance on costly hospital care.

Home health providers are expanding to secure value-based contracts that improve outcomes and lower costs. BAYADA reports one program for high-risk children saved more than $28 million over four years.

Folks will get discharged from the hospital, but they go to a [skilled nursing facility] because they don’t have someone at home to help them out. It’s not necessarily indicative of their care profile that they would need to go to a secondary higher acute source.
