Regardless of what did or didn't happen in our lives, all that matters is what we are thinking now. Rather than a kick down, with faith, all things turn out to be a winning kick. We must learn to ask ourselves, “Are we going to linger in the past, or allow for a miracle in the present? Are we blaming ourselves and others, or forgiving ourselves and others? Are we attached to what happened, or embracing new possibilities?” On this episode, Darrell and Ed remind listeners that the universe forges a new, prosperous path forward the instant we align our thoughts with the thoughts of love and give thanks. Field kicking Unity Minister Ken Fendrick from Unity of the Trails punts us through the goal posts with today's Daily Word, “Joy”.

I wanted to remind everyone about this show from last year because it's becoming increasingly relevant. We have this weird thing going on where everybody seems to be talking about physician incentives and payments and financial implications but so often disregards patient incentives and payments and financial implications. Consider that we're at a place in the time-space continuum where it is inarguable that financial toxicity has become clinical toxicity. Patients are increasingly in huge numbers abandoning care, splitting pills, doing all kinds of things to save money that are clinically toxic. And these are patients with “good insurance” that we are talking about here. So, here's a role play: Provider organization is actually paying doctors for outcomes. In wanders a patient with a huge deductible. Doc says, “Wow, Patient … so important that you take your insulin or med as directed or get a follow-up on that scary colonoscopy finding.” Patient says, “Sorry, Doc. Can't afford it.” And the doc gets dinged because the patient outcomes are avoidably poor. That's what this show with Dr. Mark Fendrick digs into: aligning patient incentives (aka benefit designs etc) with value-based payments on the provider side. And with that, here's your encore: And here I thought I knew a lot about value-based care. In this healthcare podcast, I am speaking with Mark Fendrick, MD, who is the director over at the University of Michigan Center for Value-Based Insurance Design. This conversation is for those of you who already know pretty much about value-based care concepts. If you do not, I'd go back and listen to, say, Encore! EP206, with Ashok Subramanian, before this one.   Dr. Fendrick talks in this healthcare podcast about what it takes for value-based care to happen in the real world. No kidding, it's about making sure that reimbursement is aligned with good things (no great surprise there). But two light bulb moments I had in this conversation with Dr. Fendrick: At the beginning of the year, how many doctors and nurses, inspired to do the right thing, have told their patients with diabetes, say, to go get an eye exam to check for diabetic retinopathy? No one would disagree that this is definitely a good idea. Diabetic retinopathy causes blindness. But here's the reality of that conversation. Doc says, “Go get an eye exam.” And patient says, “I can't. My deductible is huge, and I can't afford it.” So, the patient doesn't get the follow-up care and winds up in the hospital or blind. And the doctor gets dinged on his or her quality scores. Suboptimal outcomes all around, I'd say. This also happens on the pharmacy side of the equation, but I think a lot of us are a little bit more familiar with that scenario—like type 1 diabetics who can't afford to pick up their insulin because of a Medicare Part D or commercial deductible that they haven't met yet. I just never really connected the dots back to the provider getting black marks because their patient has a benefit design that's not aligned with the quality measures. In a majority of benefit designs, consumer price sharing is based not on the value of the service but on how expensive the service just happens to be. Wow! So, we're trying to get our plan members to be consumers and use the power of their wallets to make good healthcare choices. And what we're really doing is driving them toward cheap things or no care and discouraging them from indulging—and I say that sarcastically—in expensive things. But the expensive things might be the high-value care, and the relatively cheap things might be crap that's fully unnecessary or harmful and, over a whole population, adds up to a lot of zeros. Healthcare is not like a consumer market where the expensive things are usually a better version of the cheap things. For all you economists out there, you don't want the demand curve to be elastic when what's cheap and what's expensive has no correlation to quality or necessity. Nobody should be super flabbergasted when a $35 cure-all supplement peddled on YouTube makes some random influencer a millionaire. That's how supply and demand works. Much to ponder in this episode.

February 10, 2022 ~ Regular preventative screenings are a person's best chance for surviving a cancer diagnosis, but how do we make sure these screenings are accessible and affordable for all? Paul W. speaks with Michigan Medicine Center for Value-Based Insurance Design Dr Mark Fendrick about the access and affordability challenges that some are facing, and the efforts underway to enact change.

February 10, 2022 ~ The Michigan Medicine Internal Medicine Physician talks to Paul about how the cost of medical tests can interfere with someone's ability to get the necessary screening tests for cancer.

August 26, 2021 ~ WJR Senior News Analyst Marie Osborne and University of Michigan Professor Dr. Mark Fendrick talk with Guy Gordon about Delta Air Lines charging their unvaccinated employees $200 per month.

Value-based care requires new thinking in both how we pay for care (i.e. alternative payment models) and how we engage consumers to seek care (i.e. benefit design). During this podcast, A. Mark Fendrick, MD, Director of the Center for Value-Based Insurance Design at the University of Michigan, discusses the origins and evolution of V-BID and why he believes designing health benefit plans to reduce financial barriers to essential, high-value clinical services is the answer to lowering healthcare costs. Mark, who is also a professor in medicine and public health at the University of Michigan, and shares real-world examples of V-BID implementation and how it has helped public and private payers increase the use of high-value services, lower consumer out-of-pocket costs, and reduce health care disparities. Hew also talks about incorporating digital into V-BID, the differences between V-BID and Value-Based Care, and the challenges of implementing V-BID and how to overcome them.   This episode of Bright Spots in Healthcare is sponsored by Healthy.io.  Healthy.io is the global leader in turning the smartphone camera into a clinical-grade medical device for an at-home urinalysis and digital wound management. Their home urinalysis kit aids in the diagnosis of chronic kidney disease, urinary tract infections, and prenatal testing and is used by leading healthcare systems worldwide.

In this episode, I have the privilege of hosting the outstanding Dr. Mark Fendrick, a founding Partner of VBID Health and Director of the University of Michigan Center for Value-Based Insurance Design. Dr. Fendrick educates us on VBID (Value-Based Insurance Design), what his center is doing to improve value-based care and the dilemma of how procedures are being paid vs engaging with health care consumers. He shares his insights on the impact of high-value services and low-value services, having a system that incentivizes routine care, and more. Dr. Fendrick also talks of policies he and his team helped create, and one of them resulted in getting free COVID shots for everyone in the U.S! There are many things to learn about VBID so please tune in!

After fighting their way through the mines, the party must deal with the immediate consequences of Fendrick blind casting Fireball into the branding room! That's one spicy meatball!

The Berkeley Patients Group is the oldest continually operating dispensary in the country, and has historically been a model for how the industry should operate and what corporate social responsibility should look like. Sabrina Fendrick is the Director of Government Affairs for BPG, which means that she is in charge of the policy side of things. Fendrick notes that between January and July of 2018, the entire supply chain had to be restructured, which was difficult because so many temporary licenses were expiring. Because this is the only industry - and California is the only state - that has four agencies regulating one supply chain, there have been lots of extra challenges and limitations present, especially amidst all the changes that occurred last year. Although 2019 hasn't been completely smooth sailing, the regulatory landscape has certainly improved since 2018.

Listen in as Mark Fendrick, Director of the University of Michigan Center for Value-Based Insurance Design and a practicing general internist, catches Suzanne Delbanco up on the new developments in the world of Value-Based Insurance Design (VBID). After years of bipartisan support and tireless advocacy, the federal government has made important changes to Medicare Advantage and private health plan programs and regulations to allow more generous coverage of high-value health care services. The greater question is, how can these important changes be implemented without increasing total cost of care for the private employers and public agencies who purchase health care? The answer: VBID X, a model plan that achieves cost-neutrality by specifying reduced or eliminated cost-sharing for high-value services and increased cost-sharing for select low-value services. Building upon a previous episode with Mark from back in July 2017, this is an episode you don't want to miss!

Listen NowOne way to increase the value of insurance coverage is to eliminate or lower a patient's out of pocket costs (OOP), i.e., their co-pays and/or deductables, for health care services that are of high value, for example, vaccines and/or alternatively increase OOP costs for low value service, for example, certain imaging tests.  The concept is based on the straight forward rationale that, based on clinical evidence, certain health care products or services are proven to be more effective than others.  (This is the rationale for the Choosing Wisely program, at: https://www.choosingwisely.org/.)  OOP costs therefore should not be uniform for all services and medications, particularly when non-adherence rises along with rising health care OOP spending.  This largely explains the problem of medication non-adherence.  Phrased another way, we need need to solve for the increasing problem of under consuming high value care.  This idea was recognized in the 2010 Affordable Care Act, specifically Section 2713 [c] that eliminates patient cost sharing for specific preventive care services.  For example, OOP costs for significantly under-utilized breast and colorectal screenings, for which approximately only 72% and 60% of patients, respectively, are screened.  The value-based idea was furthered by the ACA-created CMS Innovation Center that in 2017 the launch the MA VBID demonstration - that was recently extended to 2024.  (This discussion is related to or can serve as a follow up to my May 11th conversation with Professor Andrew Ryan concerning measuring for value or spending efficiency.)During this approximately 30 minute conversation, Dr. Fendrick discusses moreover the creation of the University of Michigan's VBID Center, provides his assessment of the current CMS Medicare Advantage VBID demonstration, the U. of MI Center's just announced V-BID X insurance design, VBID efforts at the state level and the Treasury Department's just-announced guidance allowing Health Savings Account/High Deductible Health Plans to practice VBID.   Dr. A. Mark Fendrick is the Director of the Value-Based Insurance Design Center at the University of Michigan.  He is also Professor of Internal Medicine in the School of Medicine and a Professor of Health Management and Policy in the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan.  He has authored over 250 articles and book chapters and has received numerous awards for the creation and implementation of value-based insurance design.  Dr. Fendrick is an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine (formerly the Institute of Medicine or IOM), serves on the Medicare Coverage Advisory Committee, and has been invited to present testimony before the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, the U.S. House of Representatives Ways and Means Subcommittee on Health, and the U.S. Senate Committee on Armed Services Subcommittee on Personnel.  Dr. Fendrick is the co-editor in chief of the American Journal of Managed Care and is an editorial board member for three additional peer-reviewed publications.  He is also a member of the Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation at the University of Michigan, where he remains clinically active in the practice of general internal medicine.  Dr. Fendrick received a bachelor's degree in economics and chemistry from the University of Pennsylvania and his medical degree from Harvard Medical School.  He completed his residency in internal medicine at the University of Pennsylvania where he was a fellow in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Clinical Scholars Program.For information about U. of Michigan's Center for Value-Based Insurance Design to go: https://ihpi.umich.edu/center-value-based-insurance-design-v-bid.A summary of the V-BID X proposal is at: https://www.healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/hblog20190714.437267/full/.  The more complete white paper is at: http://vbidcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/VBID-X-Final-Report_White-Paper-7.13.19.pdf.  For information concerning Dr. Fendrick's mention of the just-released US Treasury guidance allowing HSA-HDHP plans the flexibility to cover specified medications and services prior to meeting the plan deductible go to: https://ihpi.umich.edu/center-value-based-insurance-design-v-bid .  This is a public episode.

It’s funny, sometimes, the path the universe can choose to take you. One minute, you’re lying on a training table, your torn shoulder being worked on. You’re pondering if this is it, the last tear. Perhaps it’s time to move back to Florida. Have kids. Raise a family. Move on. The next, you’re on a call with Kerri Walsh Jennings, the greatest to ever play the game, one of the most dominant athletes not only in the sport of beach volleyball but of all time. She’s looking for a partner, someone to make a run at the Tokyo Olympics. You’ve been to the Olympics before. You fell short, going 0-3. The sting is still there. You want more. So you take the offer. Your career isn’t over. In fact, this may just be the beginning. This could be the exact moment everything – the knee surgeries and shoulder tears, moving across the country to a state you never wanted to live to, making a career out of a game that you didn’t pick up until after college – has circuitously led to. Maybe this is the reason for all of that. Such is the story of Brooke Youngquist Sweat, one filled with tremendous adversity but magnificent toughness, both of the mental and physical sort. She never meant for beach volleyball to be a career. Her boyfriend in college, Nick Sweat, played. Every now and then she’d hop in. She gave it a go for a bit but didn’t like it much. Wasn’t for her. Then she tried again. Suddenly, the gal from Estero, Fla., the one who would work on her dad’s rock quarry over the summers, was moving to California. Suddenly she was traveling to AVP qualifiers. And then she was qualifying. And winning. Suddenly Brooke Sweat had become the very personification of all things Southern California, the one chasing a pipe dream on a beach, dropping everything to do so, traveling with the rolling circus of grinders and hopefuls that is the AVP Tour. Only it was working. It was in 2012 that Sweat moved to California. Not coincidentally, a year later, partnered with Jen Fopma at Huntington Beach, she won her first tournament. When she wasn’t winning, she was contending, as Sweat, in 2014 with Fendrick, made five straight finals, meeting the same foil every time: Kerri Walsh Jennings and April Ross. “I just wanted to be on the court against her, she’s always going to make me better,” Sweat said. “I never thought I would be playing with Kerri. Like, no. So it’s kind of cool to be in this position, especially after not knowing if I was going to be playing ever again.” So now here she is. Her knee is healthy. Her shoulder, as is Walsh’s notoriously troublesome shoulder, is rebuilt. On the road with them will be physical therapist extraordinaire Chad Beauchamp. The next two years will be the final push for both Sweat and Walsh Jennings. And then Sweat will return to Florida, where her heart has always been. It will have been a long and winding journey, though what else would you expect from this wonky universe of ours? What fun would the straight path have been, anyway?

Current policies being employed to limit spending can have serious consequences for patients. In the April issue of The American Journal of Managed Care, A. Mark Fendrick, MD, co-authored a paper that examined the relationship between consumer cost sharing for branded antidepressants and the initiation of branded therapy among patients who were filling a prescription for a generic medication to treat major depressive disorder. Read the paper: Cost Sharing and Branded Antidepressant Initiation Among Patients Treated With Generics: www.ajmc.com/journals/issue/2018/2018-vol24-n4/cost-sharing-and-branded-antidepressant-initiation-among-patients-treated-with-generics

In a frenetic span of 120 days, Kelly Claes was able to accomplish what the vast majority of the beach volleyball world would be satisfied with in a career.  She won a national championship with USC, which was preceded by the USAV Collegiate Beach Championships. She stunned 2016 Olympic gold medalists Laura Ludwig and Kira Walkenhorst to claim a bronze medal in the World Series of Beach Volleyball. She won an AVP during the season finale in Chicago, which came with the added bonus of boosted prize money, money she was alas able to accept. She even won a NORCECA qualifier – playing defense with Lauren Fendrick. And Claes isn't done yet. Not even close.  “I want to be the best blocker in the world,” she says repeatedly throughout the podcast. She's not far off, despite playing professionally for less than one full season (she had to skip the AVP's opener in Huntington Beach). While her and partner Sara Hughes, the FIVB Rookie of the Year, finished the collegiate season No. 1 in the country and national champs for the fourth straight season, they also finished No. 16 internationally and sixth on the AVP.  On the podcast, Claes discusses her remarkable partnership with Hughes, which includes a record 103-match winning streak, and what she learned by playing with Fendrick and AVP MVP April Ross in an FIVB in China. “You can only learn so much from one person,” she says. “I feel like reaching into another hat is always helpful. I feel like I learned from both of them and I wouldn't trade that for anything. It was a really cool experience.” With a little less than three months to go before the opening event of the 2018 season, in The Hague, Claes and Hughes are back on the sand. Claes discusses what her training looks like, what events she's looking forward to in the 2018 season, her aspirations both immediate and long term, and how she plans on developing into the best blocker in the world.
