title: Risk-adjusted base payments can support the move to value.
abstract: Value-based care delivery and payment continue to penetrate the marketplace, redefining the roles primary care physicians are expected to play. Risk-adjusted base payments can help ensure that these physicians receive stable, predictable monthly or quarterly payments for the added responsibilities they will take on managing the health of populations through accountable care organizations, patient- centered medical homes, and other value-based organizations. As payerand provider incentives become aligned in value-based care delivery, payment arrangements should be designed to reflect that alignment.
