HCA’s 2021 Paying for Value survey is now online

The Health Care Authority (HCA) is seeking provider participation in our annual Paying for Value survey, now issued through ServiceNow. The survey will help track progress toward our statewide goal of paying for health and value, rather than paying for volume of care. In a value-based system, payments are based on the health outcomes people experience, rather than paying for each medical transaction.

Beginning in 2021, HCA is adopting the Health Care Payment Learning & Action Network refreshed alternative payment model (APM) Framework. The changes in the framework are minimal but add clarity and specificity to APM categorization.

Because provider success is at the heart of value-based care, provider input is essential. Providers who participate in this survey will provide valuable insight into the challenges they face when considering adopting new payment arrangements. It will also help HCA support providers and the health and wellness community as a whole.

HCA invites a variety of providers across Washington State to participate. This includes hospitals, health care systems, clinics, tribal health care, behavioral health care, and others.

The survey is open until 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 31. It is designed to be filled out by an administrative leader, with only one response per organization. HCA is asking managed care organizations and commercial plans to participate in a similar survey.
