Value-Based Programs. BlueCard® Program If you receive covered health care services under a Value-Based Program inside a Host Blue’s service area, you will not be responsible for paying any of the Provider Incentives, risk-sharing, and/or Care Coordinator Fees that are a part of such an arrangement, except when a Host Blue passes these fees to us through average pricing or fee schedule adjustments. Care Coordinator Fee is a fixed amount paid by us to providers periodically for Care Coordination under a Value-Based Program. Care Coordination is organized, information-driven patient care activities intended to facilitate the appropriate responses to an enrolled member's healthcare needs across the continuum of care. Value-Based Program (VBP) is an outcomes-based payment arrangement and/or a coordinated care model facilitated with one or more local providers that is evaluated against cost and quality metrics/factors and is reflected in provider payment. Provider Incentive is an additional amount of compensation paid to a healthcare provider by us, based on the provider's compliance with agreed-upon procedural and/or outcome measures for a particular group of covered persons. Federal or state laws or regulations may require a surcharge, tax or other fee that applies to insured accounts. If applicable, we will include any such surcharge, tax or other fee as part of the claim charge passed on to you.
