ACOs, CINs, VBEs, What's the Difference?
Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), Clinically Integrated Networks (CINs) and Value-Based Enterprises (VBEs) may have similar goals of achieving value-based care, but they are structured in very different ways.
In this HealthLawEducator webinar, health care attorney Joe Wolfe discusses the differences between ACOs, CINs and VBEs and how health care organizations can incentivize care coordination, quality and cost containment under the law.
I help high performing hospitals, health systems, medical groups and other health care organizations nationwide as they navigate complex and challenging financial, legal, regulatory and strategic challenges and opportunities. I provide support as a consultant or as an attorney, depending on the scope of support needed and client preference. Hall Render is the largest health care focused law firm in the country. I lead the firm's Health Regulatory practice group and at this point have assisted health care organizations in nearly all 50 states on compliance matters, provider compensation strategies, value-based contracting and health regulatory issues. I am a nationally recognized speaker for health care trade associations and have given hundreds of in-person, web-based, podcast and client presentations in recent years. I currently serves as the vice chair of educational programming for the American Health Law Association’s Fraud & Abuse Practice Group. I am licensed as an attorney in both Florida and Wisconsin and am engaged in their state bar associations. Prior to law school, I served as a combat engineer officer in the United States Army.
