Annual value-based payment survey seeks provider participation

The Health Care Authority (HCA) is seeking provider participation in its annual value-based payment survey. The survey will assist HCA in tracking progress toward the statewide goal of paying for value-based care, rather than paying for volume of care. Further, this survey will provide valuable insight into the challenges providers face when considering adopting new payment arrangements and inform HCA’s efforts to support the provider community.

HCA invites a variety of providers across Washington State, including hospitals, health systems, clinics, tribal health care, behavioral health care, and others, to participate. The intent is to collect one response per organization and that administrators, rather than individual clinicians, fill out the survey on behalf of their organization.

The survey was developed by HCA with advice from HCA’s Medicaid Value-based Payment (MVP) Action Team, whose members represent a variety of provider organizations, Accountable Communities of Health, and Medicaid managed care organizations (MCOs). A similar version of the survey was released to health plans earlier this year.

The survey is open until September 8.

• Participate in the survey (Excel)
• If you prefer to fill out the survey via phone with HCA staff assistance, contact PayingForValue@hca.wa.gov.
