The Big Shift: What Value-Based Care Means for Pain Management
Pain medicine is entering a new era, and practices need to prepare now.
As healthcare reimbursement increasingly shifts from volume to value, pain physicians may be asked to demonstrate not only which services they provide, but also how those services improve patient outcomes, support coordinated care, and manage total costs. Implementation starts on January 1, 2027.
Join Dr. Marie Hanna and Dr. Kayode Williams for a live webinar examining the changing value-based care landscape and what the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ Ambulatory Specialty Model (ASM) may mean for chronic pain care.

Time: 8:00 PM ET
Format: Live online webinar with interactive Q&A
Registration: Free for members. $25 for all others
CME: 1 CME Credit
Why Pain Physicians Should Pay Attention
The transition to value-based reimbursement may significantly affect how pain practices measure success, coordinate care, document outcomes, and demonstrate value.
For pain physicians, this shift could place greater emphasis on:
- Functional improvement and patient outcomes
- Multidisciplinary, longitudinal care
- Care coordination across specialties
- Patient-reported outcome measures
- Documentation and data collection
- Quality, utilization, and cost performance
- Practice readiness for new reimbursement models
Understanding these expectations early can help physicians and practice leaders identify gaps, strengthen workflows, and prepare their teams for change.
What You’ll Learn
During this timely discussion, Dr. Hanna and Dr. Williams will explore:
- How the CMS Ambulatory Specialty Model may reshape chronic pain care
- What value-based reimbursement could mean for pain physicians and their practices
- Strategies for delivering high-value, multidisciplinary care
- The growing importance of tracking and documenting patient outcomes
- Practical steps practices can take to prepare for the transition
- Opportunities and challenges associated with value-based pain care
The webinar will conclude with a live, interactive Q&A, giving attendees an opportunity to raise questions and hear practical perspectives from experts helping shape the future of pain medicine.
Prepare Your Practice for What Comes Next
The move toward value-based care is more than a reimbursement change. It may require pain practices to reconsider how they define successful treatment, measure improvement, collaborate with other providers, and communicate the value of care.
Whether you are a pain physician, practice administrator, clinical leader, or member of a multidisciplinary care team, this webinar will provide timely information to help you begin preparing.
