Re: Extending the Next Generation Accountable Care Organization Model
Dear Secretary Becerra:
On behalf of the undersigned organizations, we look forward to working with you to advance value-based care policy at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Providers across the country have been on the value-based care journey for more than a decade. Along the way, they have made significant investments to improve patient care and set Medicare and Medicaid on a more sustainable financial future. We are excited to continue to work with you to move to a stronger, more resilient healthcare delivery system in the future.
