To build sustainable palliative care programs, providers need to anticipate the costs of delivering care, based on their clinical model, environment, and other variables.

Objectives

• Review SB 1004 required services and care models that might be used to deliver those services
• Understand service model and contract features that influence costs to providers: variables related to patient care, indirect/administrative variables
• Review strategies to promote alignment between payment and costs
• Consider promising practices for developing positive payer-provider relationships

This webinar provided a high-level overview of variables and concepts used in projecting the cost of care delivery, and is appropriate for both providers and payers interested in expanding access to palliative care services.
