Value-Based Care Insights New Episode NOW On-Demand
The newly signed One Big Beautiful Bill Act is reshaping the healthcare landscape, with ripple effects for providers, payers, and patients. From Medicaid coverage shifts and rural hospital funding challenges to stricter ACA rules, expanded value-based care, and mandatory risk models, the implications are broad and far-reaching.
On this episode Dan speaks with Ben Sparks, President of Bryan Health Connect, a clinically integrated network, to examine four critical areas leaders must prepare for: projected Medicaid losses, financial pressures on hospitals, new insurance access rules, and the wider fiscal and political fallout across states. Drawing on Bryan Health Connect’s experience, Ben shares practical takeaways to help leaders adapt to the new law.
Key Takeaways:
- Medicaid shifts create opportunities for health systems, CINs and ACOs to innovate in outreach, care coordination, and equity-focused programs.
- Rural hospital pressures open the door for partnerships, new care delivery models, and creative funding strategies.
- The acceleration of value-based care allows for healthcare providers to strengthen infrastructure, improve outcomes, and lead in risk-bearing models.
