With many primary care physicians not just surviving but thriving in value-based care, what makes many still reluctant to enter this proven delivery model? What needs to happen to reach CMS’s goal of every Medicare beneficiary being in an accountable care relationship by 2030? Farzad Mostashari, MD, MSc, Co-founder and CEO of Aledade, will address these questions and how we can get more physicians to transition to value-based care.
