VBC Insights: Navigating the Next Chapter of CMS Value-Based Care: LEAD, MSSP and Beyond

On the this episode Daniel Marino sits down with Emily Brower, President and CEO of the National Association of ACOs (NAACOS), to explore what the upcoming CMS changes mean for healthcare organizations and the future of accountable care. As CMS continues to refine its approach to value-based care, healthcare organizations face critical decisions about how to participate in accountable care models. With ACO REACH coming to an end and new opportunities emerging through LEAD and the evolving Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP), 2027 marks an important inflection point for providers. Emily shares insights into the key differences between LEAD and MSSP, the importance of understanding an organization’s population and network strengths, and how longer-term models can support investments in care management, clinical transformation, and population health.
