Senior Living Operators Embrace ‘Payviders’ in Building Value-Based Care Models

Assisted living operators are adapting to meet the changing needs of residents by contracting with independent “payviders” like Curana Health to provide medical services directly. This shift towards value-based care models was a main topic of discussion at a recent Medicarians conference. As the sophistication of assisted living services grows, operators are realizing the importance of mental health, socialization, and wellness for residents. Payviders like Curana Health are helping create new payment options, such as through Medicare Advantage, to enhance the level of care provided. Despite challenges, senior living operators like Solera are embracing payviders to improve health outcomes, combat wage escalation, and open new revenue streams for their communities.
