Value-Based Payment to Support Health Care Transition for Young Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities: A Feasibility Study.

Introduction: Only 20% of youth with intellectual and developmental disability (ID/DD) receive health care transition (HCT) preparation from their health care providers (HCPs). To address HCT system gaps, the first-of-its-kind HCT value-based payment (VBP) pilot was conducted for young adults (YA) with ID/DD.

Methods: This feasibility study examined the acceptability, implementation, and potential for expansion of the pilot, which was conducted within a specialty Medicaid managed care organization (HSCSN) in Washington, DC.
