ChenMed: 6 Benefits of a Full-risk, Value-Based Care Model

1. Helps reduce vaccine hesitancy via a trusting doctor-patient relationship
2. Can help address substance abuse, in part because care teams are incentivized to keep patients out of high-cost care environments
3. Supports caregivers
4. Encourages new kinds of research, incentivizing study areas which are most likely to reduce cost
5. Reduces stigma from mental and behavioral health concerns by addressing them at the primary care level
6. Helps address the social determinants of health

Notes: Full risk means full financial risk. The provider receives a set, “capitated” amount per patient, and in exchange, assumes full risk for the cost of that patient’s care.
