Digital health is moving from point-solution adoption toward accountable-care infrastructure: NCQA’s new Digital Health Engagement Accreditation aims to give purchasers, payers, and providers a common quality framework for evaluating whether virtual tools actually engage members and improve outcomes. At the same time, specialty and virtual-first care models are positioning for VBC contracts—Oshi Health’s multidisciplinary GI model, featured by HCTTF, underscores how digital-first specialty care can target avoidable utilization and total-cost-of-care performance in ACO and payer arrangements. The policy tension remains telehealth’s payment footing, with CMS billing updates for RHCs and continued pressure from ATA and others to make flexibilities permanent, shaping whether virtual care becomes a durable population health capability or remains exposed to episodic reimbursement uncertainty.
