Telehealth and home-based care momentum is shifting toward platform-enabled population management: Mount Sinai’s virtual HIV prevention program with Wisp signals health systems are partnering with direct-to-consumer telehealth firms to extend access, capture younger/digital-first patients, and close prevention gaps outside traditional clinic workflows (Healthcare Brew). At the same time, federal scrutiny of home-based payment continues, with GAO using home health as a benchmark to question Medicare hospice payment adequacy—an immediate warning for ACOs, MA plans, and home-based providers that growth in home care will be paired with tighter program integrity and rate-setting pressure (Home Health Care News). The key VBC tension: virtual/home models can improve access and longitudinal management, but CMS/HHS under the Trump administration is likely to demand stronger evidence of medical necessity, outcomes, and fraud controls before expanding or sustaining payment.
