Transition to VBC in healthcare roll-ups

Does anyone have experience transition a healthcare roll-up from FFS to a value-based payment model?

I'm curious to better understand how transitions to VBC can happen with different capital structures. There have been a number of VC-backed enablement platforms transitioning primary care practices to VBC. Has anyone successfully done this with a search fund?

^Searchfunder member‌, looks like you've got plenty of folks to talk too but feel free to add me to that list. Spent the last 20 years in HC tech with lots of exposure to different VBC models. Feel free to DM me.

^Searchfunder member‌ provided a good summary and I agree there is no link between capital structure and VBC transition. Shift in timing of payments is going to be the challenge. However, organizations may start their transition to VBC while maintaining their fee for service (FFS) payment model. Example, you may start by joining or creating an ACO (if you have sufficient practices and experience). If done right, this can be quite profitable. But again, timing of payments and accumulation of cost do not align under the VBC model. This is the work I do... happy to talk more if you'd like to reach out.
