Week of February 17, 2024: Free digital marketing cheatsheet to grow your practice

We hope you’re enjoying a relaxing Presidents’ Day weekend. This week, we cover 2 major shifts in healthcare: the transition to value-based reimbursement models and a projected increase in Risk Adjustment Data Validation (RADV) audits. Find out how to prepare your practice to navigate these changes successfully.

Here’s what else you need to know this week:

Tebra surveyed 800 Americans and 200 healthcare professionals to understand how economic ups and downs impact healthcare affordability and access. One in 4 healthcare professionals surveyed are concerned about rising healthcare costs for patients, and nearly 2 in 3 have observed an increase in patients skipping or delaying appointments due to costs. This often leads patients to delay necessary care, negatively impacting health outcomes. 

To surmount these challenges, providers should have transparent conversations with patients about costs and financial assistance programs, create payment plans, and utilize technology to offer telehealth visits when appropriate.
