Risk-Bearing and VBC Partnerships: What provider groups need to know banner

Key Takeaways

The rapid adoption of value-based care (VBC) is accelerating the pressure on provider groups to take on downside risk—yet the right path forward is far from one-size-fits-all. Independent groups, PE-backed platforms, and system-affiliated organizations are pursuing distinct strategies to participate in risk-bearing arrangements without overextending operational or financial capacity. 

This webinar discussed:

  • Examine real-world transactions and market trends, highlighting lessons learned and strategic considerations across provider types
  • Explore structural pathways for engaging in risk, from limited involvement to deeper, more embedded models
  • Address legal, financial, and operational readiness for entering into risk-bearing partnerships
  • Deliver actionable guidance on choosing the right model for your organization to align incentives and protect long-term value
