Impact of the transition from V24 to V28
For Medicare Advantage members, this change should result in more precise risk scores and align payment rates more closely with actual health status. 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.
