Risk-Bearing and VBC Partnerships: What Provider Groups Need to Know

The rapid adoption of value-based care (VBC) is accelerating the pressure on provider groups to take on downside risk—yet the right path forward is far from one-size-fits-all. Independent groups, PE-backed platforms, and system-affiliated organizations are pursuing distinct strategies to participate in risk-bearing arrangements without overextending operational or financial capacity. This webinar will:

• Examine real-world transactions and market trends, highlighting lessons learned and strategic considerations across provider types
• Explore structural pathways for engaging in risk, from limited involvement to deeper, more embedded models
• Address legal, financial, and operational readiness for entering into risk-bearing partnerships
• Deliver actionable guidance on choosing the right model for your organization to align incentives and protect long-term value

Webinar Series: Strategic Approaches to Provider/Health Plan Collaborations

Join McDermott Will & Schulte and Kaufman Hall, a Vizient company, as we explore strategic models for provider organizations navigating today’s value-based care landscape. As the line between providers and payors continues to blur, these shifts reflect more than just a response to market pressures—they represent a rethinking of how care is financed, delivered, and scaled.

This two-part series is designed for health systems, independent physician groups, and PE-backed organizations seeking to build or refine their risk-sharing arrangements, scale, and operational efficiencies amid market pressures and regulatory uncertainty.

Note: Kaufman Hall webinars are designed for executives at hospitals, health systems, and higher education organizations. We reserve the right to decline participation if there is potential for a conflict of interest.
