Background and objectivesBecause of the limited capacity of its own dialysis facilities, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration routinely outsources dialysis care to community providers. Prior to 2011—when the VA implemented a process of standardizing payments and establishing national contracts for community-based dialysis care—payments to community providers were largely unregulated. This study examined the association of changes in the Department of Veterans Affairs payment policy for community dialysis with temporal trends in VA spending and veterans’ access to dialysis care and mortality.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsAn interrupted time series design and VA, Medicare, and US Renal Data System data were used to identify veterans who received VA–financed dialysis in community-based dialysis facilities before (2006–2008), during (2009–2010), and after the enactment of VA policies to standardize dialysis payments (2011–2016). We used multivariable, differential trend/intercept shift regression models to examine trends in average reimbursement for community-based dialysis, access to quality care (veterans’ distance to community dialysis, number of community dialysis providers, and dialysis facility quality indicators), and 1-year mortality over this time period.ResultsBefore payment reform, the unadjusted average per-treatment reimbursement for non–VA dialysis care varied widely ($47–$1575). After payment reform, there was a 44% reduction ($44–$250) in the adjusted price per dialysis session (P<0.001) and less variation in payments for dialysis ($73–$663). Over the same time period, there was an increase in the number of community dialysis facilities contracting with VA to deliver care to veterans with ESKD from 19 to 37 facilities (per VA hospital), and there were no changes in either the quality of community dialysis facilities or crude 1-year mortality rate of veterans (12% versus 11%).ConclusionsVA policies to standardize payment and establish national dialysis contracts increased the value of VA–financed community dialysis care by reducing reimbursement without compromising access to care or survival.

Abstract Integrated behavioral health is a population-based approach that acknowledges the chronic nature of most mental illnesses and the need for services beyond those delivered in face-to-face visits. These services have been referred to by different and confusing names with over 40 definitions of care coordination concepts in the literature. Kilbourne et al. in a recent article in this journal divided these tasks into three groups: care coordination, care management and case management with associated definitions provided as used in the veterans affairs system. In this commentary, while drawing on over a decade of experience in implementing care management models in the Mayo clinic system of care, I will suggest we need to be even more specific with these definitions. I propose these terms be linked to critical and measurable tasks in the management of chronic conditions, thus allowing those administrating or researching these interventions to better assess fidelity, processes and outcomes when a model is applied to a population of patients with chronic conditions in an integrated setting.
