U.S. Value-based Healthcare Service Market Size Report, 2030 (2024)

Report Overview

The U.S. value-based healthcare service market size was estimated at USD 3.22 trillion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5% from 2022 to 2030. Burgeoning pressure on the health system as a result of the constant increase in healthcare spending as a percentage of GDP and healthcare delivery costs are the key contributors to the rising penetration of value-based healthcare services in the industry. These 3 keywords are quite unlikely to be excluded by any government agency, or healthcare strategy provider on a transformation agenda. There is growing potential to implement a value-based healthcare system in the U.S. due to general areas of improvement such as the need for patient-centricity and uncoordinated treatment.

For instance, the rate of readmission for pneumonia and heart attacks among U.S. residents between 2011 and 2014 was 17%. With almost 250,000 fatalities in 2018, medical mistakes were the third greatest cause of mortality in the U.S., after heart disease and cancer. There is strong evidence that a significant portion of healthcare money is wasted on preventable medical problems or unnecessary treatments, highlighting the growing demand for value-based healthcare services.

The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly increased the financial, regulatory, and technology challenges that healthcare payers currently confront. The pandemic has improved payers' cash flow in the short term, but it has also brought about major operational and market changes for which payers must get prepared. The exchange market is also anticipated to expand as a result of payers, including United Healthcare, Anthem, Centene, and Oscar Health, reviving their interest in this market due to changes in COVID-19's enrollment patterns.

Models Insights

Pay for performance accounted for the largest market share revenue of over 28.00% in 2021 due to the rising shift from traditional fee-for-service toward payment for value-based healthcare programs. Furthermore, to reduce costs and improve healthcare for patients and society, the government has provided incentives that have driven payers to establish value-based pay-for-performance programs.

For instance, the Affordable Care Act has encouraged the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to take the lead in value-based care by implementing a range of payment methods, such as several pay-for-performance programs. The Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP), the Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Program (VBP), and the Hospital-Acquired Condition (HAC) Reduction Program are three Pay for Performance initiatives that have an impact on hospital reimbursem*nt through Medicare. These programs accounted for nearly 40% of total spending, and CMS has established them as the primary means of financing healthcare.

On the other hand, patient-centered medical homes would register the highest market growth for value-based healthcare services during the forecast period. The ability of patient-centered medical home services to improve efficiency while providing medical assistance and reducing medical costs is one of the key factors influencing the market expansion. Additionally, this market would have significant support, as healthcare providers at both the private and public levels restructure their operations to line with value-based reimbursem*nt and patient-centered medical home care models. For instance, Pfizer hasseveral patient-centered medical home modelswith which it collaborates on care management programs(PCMH).

Payer Insights

Medicare is gradually shifting away from fee-for-service compensation toward value-based models that promote cost-cutting and quality improvement, which is anticipated to drive market growth. The Medicare Advantage (MA) program, which enables Medicare beneficiaries to voluntarily join a commercial plan that provides health benefits, was established by the Balanced Budget Act (BBA) of 1997. In a related manner, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and private insurers have enthusiastically endorsed a number of payment strategies for primary care doctors, specialists, and health systems in taking on financial risk for the individuals they treat.

These payment plans include, for instance, bundled payments, accountable care organizations, and the comprehensive primary care initiative. All of these models have been widely embraced in both traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage, which is predicted to fuel market expansion. Some of these models were established by CMS through the Innovation Center, while others were produced by the private sector.

Providers Utilization Category Insights

The increasing healthcare expenditure in the U.S. is a key factor driving the adoption of services for Home Health Care settings during the forecast period. For instance, as per the American Journal of Managed Care (AJMC) in 2021, there was a 19% cost decrease in home healthcare management, when comparing patients treated in a hospital environment versus those treated in a hospital-at-home setting.

Medicare reimbursem*nts in the U.S. are extremely advantageous in terms of providing value-based healthcare for better outcomes for patients at a low cost. For instance, through December 31, 2021, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation adopted the initial Home Health Value-Based Purchasing Model. The concept was created to help Medicare-certified Home Health Agencies across the country improve the quality and efficiency of their treatment.

On the other hand, the institutional care model for healthcare is anticipated to be the growth driver for this market throughout the forecast period due to increasing technology, operational problems, rising consumer expectations, and new health conditions. As a result, there has been a continuous shift toward healthcare services that are value-based and patient-centered. Due to profitability, the number of patients treated, and lower financial risk, value-based healthcare services are driven by a focus on establishing integrated practice units, which measure outcomes and cost at the patient level, bundle prices, geographic expansion, and information technology platforms.

Key Companies & Market Share Insights

Companies that are primarily active in the U.S. have increased their partnerships among the providers as these partnerships allow partners such as manufacturers, payers, and provider organizations to co-develop programs, solutions, and initiatives collaboratively for the benefit of patients and healthcare systems.

Value-based partnerships assist with conveying the highest value incentive to the healthcare system and society by concentrating on improving patient results about the system and societal total costs. For instance, in June 2021, Humana acquired One Homecare Solutions (one home) from WayPoint Capital Partners to enhance value-based care in in-home healthcare services.

Furthermore, Signify Health announced its intention to merge with Remedy Partners in August 2019. Signify Health supports in-home care and offers care management services. With the aid of the merger, the two businesses are better able to integrate their technology, data, and network resources. This includes 9,000 credentialed providers, a combined countrywide partner network of more than 300 provider systems, 2,000 post-acute organizations, more than 200 community sites, and 9,000 accredited providers.
