Envisioning Value-based Provider Payment for Obesity Treatment and Support

Posted On March 6th, 2023

Obesity treatment and support: growing unmet patient need, better tools, and an opportunity for value-based payment.

Ten years after the American Medical Association declared obesity a chronic disease, unmet patient medical needs associated with obesity are growing. Yet obesity treatment and support are not a focus of the ongoing movement towards value-based care. NEHI's report maps the clinical journey of patients with obesity through their encounters with the health care system and applies well-accepted principles of value-based payment that could support a transition to safe, clinically appropriate and cost-effective obesity care, delivered at scale.
