'Medicare Done Right,' explained: How value-based MA models are saving billions

Medical Economics sat down with Susan Dentzer, president and CEO of America's Physician Groups (APG), to discuss their latest report, "Medicare Done Right."

Dentzer breaks down what top-performing Medicare Advantage (MA) groups are doing differently — and why it matters. She explains how delegated risk arrangements give physician groups the tools, teams and tech they need to deliver better care and cut costs.

Armed with capitated payments and infrastructure support, these groups reduce hospitalizations, prevent readmissions and boost medication adherence.

If scaled to traditional Medicare, the report says, the impact could be massive. "We would, as we've estimated, save at least $22 billion a year."
