Align Your Governance Structure for TEAM Success? VBEs Might Be the Key.

Is your hospital working with ACOs, CINs, AHEAD, MSOs, or IPAs—but you're unsure how to structure these relationships for success in the CMS TEAM model? Or are you starting out with no ACO experience or relationships?

Value-Based Enterprises (VBEs) may be the framework you’ve been searching for.

Today, Anthony Long and Jim Yanci from Pinnacle shared powerful insights on how VBEs can streamline alignment across diverse organizations to thrive in value-based care.

Key Takeaways:

✅ VBEs don’t require a new legal entity — CMS defines them broadly to allow collaboration across hospitals, physicians, and other providers.

✅ VBEs enable risk-sharing between provider organizations (e.g., Hospital-to-Hospital, Hospital-to-Physician) to support shared goals.

✅ VBEs align incentives, improve outcomes, and reduce costs, all while enhancing care delivery.

✅ They’re a core component of the future of healthcare under value-based payment models.
