Healthcare Utilization Trends in 2025: How Health Plans Use Value-Based Care to Manage Costs

To counteract intensifying industry challenges, health plans are implementing strategies to contain costs while enhancing member care quality, including adopting value-based care models. Unlike the traditional fee-for-service model, value-based care incentivizes better patient outcomes rather than reimbursing for the volume of services delivered. Value-based care improves population health management in a way that benefits both payers and patients by focusing on preventive care and early intervention, chronic disease management, and holistic member support.
