How can Value-Based Enterprises (VBEs) help organizations succeed under the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM)? At the 2025 Nelson Mullins Value-Based Care Conference, Mike Segal moderated a focused discussion with Ed White (Nelson Mullins), Robert Ball (Enlace Health), and Luis Argueso (InHealth Advisors) on how hospitals, specialists, and physician groups can leverage VBEs to navigate TEAM’s financial accountability and regulatory requirements. The conversation explored how VBEs can simplify program management by creating unified legal and operational frameworks, supporting scalable care coordination models, and offering regulatory safe harbor protections across episodes and payers. Panelists also emphasized that success in value-based care depends on aligning incentives with measurable performance. Without meaningful financial and operational incentives, traditional care patterns can persist, making accountability, compliance, and behavioral change essential to long-term success. For organizations preparing for TEAM and future value-based models, early investment in VBEs is more than a compliance strategy. It is a foundation for sustainable performance.
