State, Payor Recognitions for Value-Based Contracting with Nursing Homes
States and payors are looking to identify ways to incorporate quality metrics in reimbursement or payment models — and they're looking to The Joint Commission.
National Payor Recognitions
Large national payors increasingly use Joint Commission Nursing Care Center Accreditation as a quality metric to allow network participation, contract eligibility or higher rates of reimbursement.
Joint Commission Accreditation can effectively boost reimbursement for plan participants meeting various quality measures in the following states: CA, CO, CT, GA, IN, KY, ME, MO, NH, NV, NY, OH, VA and WI.
