In this episode of BRight Minds in Healthcare Delivery, Blank Rome partner Barak A. Bassman joins host Eric Tower to talk about how to legally and practically structure value-based care arrangements, and how to navigate those arrangements if they go south. Eric and Barak discuss the critical components to structuring a value-based care program, how to get the program accepted by payers, and what to do when payers move the goal posts and other quality measures. Barak also shares his predictions for the healthcare industry for the remainer of the year.

Barak focuses his practice on managed care contracting and healthcare reimbursement negotiation and disputes, including negotiation of value-based and other managed care contracts, disputes between payors and providers, regulatory and compliance counseling, and internal investigations. His clients include hospital systems, physician practices, pharmacies, third party payors, and rental networks.
