Overview
Primary care has rightfully served as the foundation for implementing value-based payment across the US health care system. But a disproportionate share of health care costs actually stem from specialty care, including surgical care and visits to medical specialists.

Having successfully scaled its Enhanced Personal Health Care program, which rewards primary care providers who succeed in delivering patient-centered, value-based care, Anthem is expanding its work to base specialty care payments on quality and efficiency. Anthem’s approach includes multiple programs across both commercial and government-sponsored business, designed to reward specialists for coordination with primary care, as well as for consistently high-quality, efficient care.

Anthem’s approach will include not only bundled payment and pay-for-performance, but newer payment mechanisms that are designed to improve outcomes and make care more affordable, simpler and more accessible for consumers.

Please join us on Thursday September 20, 2018, at 1 PM Eastern as Anthem’s Robert Krebbs and Erin Smith share Anthem’s perspective on the way to incorporate the full medical neighborhood into a value-based health system in the HealthcareWebSummit event: Value-Based Specialty Care: Anthem’s Approach.

Robert Krebbs
Staff Vice President, Payment Innovation Strategy, Anthem, Inc.

  Robert Krebbs is Staff Vice President, Payment Innovation at Anthem where he is responsible for the design and execution of payment innovations related to hospitals, specialists, ancillary service providers, and special populations. Mr. Krebbs works with network physicians and facilities on innovative programs aimed at delivering healthcare value by promoting high quality, affordable care. His responsibilities include the management and oversight of the award winning Quality-In-Sights®: Hospital Incentive Program (Q-HIP®), Anthem’s expanding suite of bundled payment solutions and a diverse portfolio of member and provider facing value-based designation programs. He was a member of the leadership and development team at Anthem recognized with the John M. Eisenberg Patient Safety and Quality Award (Joint Commission & National Quality Forum) for the Q-HIP and Quality Physician Performance Program (Q-P3SM) value-based reimbursement programs.

Most recently he’s been focused on leading the development of medical neighborhood programs at Anthem aimed at aligning with the American College of Physician’s Patient-Centered Medical Home Neighbor (PCMH-N) concept. This new suite of programs focuses on care coordination and shared outcomes between the unique teams of physicians (primary and specialty care) taking care of individual patients. The initial product of these efforts, Anthem’s Patient Centered Specialty Care (PCSC) pilot program was awarded an evalu8 Innovations Award by the National Business Coalition on Health in late 2015. The latest addition to the program portfolio is the Behavioral Health Medical Integration Program (BHMIP), which provides financial incentives to behavioral health providers for integration activities with primary care partners.

Mr. Krebbs’ interest in advancing high value care solutions extends to participation in multi-stakeholder efforts, including serving on the Board of Directors (now the Steering Committee) of the American Joint Replacement Registry, the Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC) Multi-Payer Workgroup and the Advisory Committee for the National Committee for Quality Assurance’s (NCQA) Patient Centered Specialty Practice (PCSP) program. He resides in Richmond, VA with his wife and two daughters and is also a proud graduate of Virginia Tech.
