4. Key Market Opportunity
One of the major opportunities in the Value Based Payment Market is the expansion of primary care capitation from Medicare ACO to commercial payer direct primary care contract as Aetna, Cigna, and UnitedHealth scale PMPM capitation primary care contract creating value-based primary care revenue above fee-for-service visit rate for physician practice. A significant proportion of primary care physician practice operates at fee-for-service visit rate without value-based PMPM capitation contract, where commercial payer direct primary care PMPM provides predictable monthly revenue above fee-for-service with quality incentive upside. Aetna or Cigna direct primary care PMPM capitation providing per-member-per-month risk-adjusted payment to primary care physician practice enables physician group to invest in care management above fee-for-service visit revenue constraint. Value-based payment providers that develop commercial payer primary care PMPM programme, build physician group value-based care infrastructure, and grow with employer preference for value-based primary care are positioned to capture growing commercial VBP demand.
