Irving Levin Associates, Inc. To Host "Bundled Payments: Adapting to Changes in the Post-Acute Sector" Webinar


Irving Levin Associates, Inc. will host an important webinar-part of the Senior Living Business Interactive Webcast Series-on Thursday, April 23, 2015, at 1:00 PM ET.

The combined payment pressures from at-risk hospitals, ACOs, bundlers and managed care are leading to the emergence of narrow and narrower post-acute networks. This momentum is further propelled by the CMS announcement of its goal to have 90 percent of Medicare FFS payments value-based by 2018. Right at this time, more than 6,500 physicians, hospitals and post-acute providers are making decisions about whether to become risk-bearing bundlers under a 3-year pilot. The combined market presence of bundlers and ACOs will be a tipping point for transformational change for skilled nursing facilities, home health and post-acute providers in many markets around the country. Post-acute providers must implement care redesign, reduce the total costs of care across an episode and produce optimal outcomes. There will definitely be winners and losers as post-acute providers adapt to this new managed-care landscape, and single SNFs and HHAs will be particularly challenged.

The hand-selected industry experts on our panel have different perspectives on how to succeed undr bundled payment and other value-based payment models and successfully transform the provision of post-acute care. They will discuss topical issues such as what it really means to achieve the Triple Aim, improve care, and improve the patient experience, the opportunity for the SNF in the ACO network, how SNFs should understand the new financial environment, the opportunity for the SNF bundler, and more. Panelists will also answer any pressing questions that the audience chooses to submit.



Speakers include: Jordan Asher, Chief Medical Officer & Chief Integration Officer, MissionPoint Health Partners; Andrea Osborne, Director of Business Development, American Senior Communities; William Pomeranz, Managing Director, Cain Brothers; and Carole Taylor-Bunk, Vice President of Strategy Innovation and Network Development, Consulate Health Care. Jade Gong, Principal at Jade Gong & Assoc, will moderate the webinar.
