[Health Affairs @Health_Affairs]

In their new Forefront article, Riya Doshi and A. Mark Fendrick of @UMichMedSchool and @UMich discuss how the unwinding of the the Medicare Advantage Value-Based Insurance Design (MA-VBID) Model does not portend the end of the use of V-BID to improve access to high-value services for Medicare beneficiaries. https://t.co/Obuuvwc4Ym

[Health Affairs @Health_Affairs]

In their new Forefront article, A. Mark Fendrick and Kirsten Axelsen from @UM_VBID argue that, given forthcoming changes to Medicare Part D plans under the Inflation Reduction Act, CMS should collect and publish plan-level metrics describing how beneficiaries’ use of medications is impacted by formulary composition. https://t.co/OoxVk7rpTP
