Impact of the transition from V24 to V28

For ACO members, this new approach should create a stable and predictable framework for risk adjustment in benchmark and performance years. For vulnerable populations, V28 should ensure a fairer distribution of resources and more appropriate care. For providers generally, this transition should shift reimbursement rates to be more congruent with population risk.
