About This MicroSim

This MicroSim shows how a value-based contract turns a year's cost and quality performance into a financial settlement. Actual total cost of care is compared to a $100M benchmark to compute gross savings or loss; a quality gate must be cleared to share in any savings, and a quality multiplier scales the share. Under two-sided risk, spending above the benchmark produces a penalty rather than simply zero.

How to Use

Move the three sliders to set spend versus benchmark, composite quality, and the shared-savings rate, and toggle two-sided risk on or off. Watch the gauge show savings (green) or loss (red) and the right panel resolve the settlement into a bonus or penalty. Try high quality with spending above benchmark (no bonus, and a penalty under two-sided risk) versus modest savings with failing quality (bonus forfeited) to see why both dimensions must be weighed together.
