Lessons from #RPA22 which just wrapped up in Dallas, a 🧵 1) Value-based care (#VBC) has injected a jolt of energy into the private practice sphere. Half the exhibitors on the convention floor were new since 2019. It was THE topic of conversation during the breaks - who are you
working with, have you signed up with anyone? The 3/25 deadline for KCE participation added to the frenzy, as did news of the Cricket-Interwell-Fresenius merger. Talks about VBC and the new payment models were well attended and garnered lots of questions and discussion.
2) The mandatory #ETC model is a dead letter, at least on the nephrologist side. For all but the big practices, the dollars at risk are too small, and the performance results too long delayed, to warrant making any changes. The dialysis companies have more $ at risk, but it was
Fantastic real world application of the financial implications of the #ETC model - what’s the dollar amount of the penalties/bonuses? By the wonderful Terry Ketchersid at #RPA22 
And with these numbers personally the relevance of #ETC drops significantly.
What about JV owners? The monetary amounts are bigger but is it enough to drive investment and change practice? I don’t think so. The dialysis companies have more to risk so may drive the response to ETC. Nephrologists need to be at the center!

Starting Jan 2020 half of #nephrology groups in the US will be assigned to the CMS Kidney Care First (KCF) accountable care model.
If you’re picked you HAVE TO participate, but can opt to switch to one of the other #KCC (Kidney Care Choices) models:

The other payment models (Comprehensive Kidney Care Contracting #CKCC options) vary in amount of risk the neph practice is willing to take on for care of the #CKD patient.
This is at the level of the #nephrology practice NOT at the dialysis unit.
