In the 1990s, a multidisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Michigan led by A. Mark Fendrick, M.D., developed a concept to restructure health benefit designs so they better supported the clinical indications for care. The concept, ultimately named Value-Based Insurance Design (V-BID), was intended to increase consumer adherence with recommended care guidelines by aligning consumer out-of-pocket costs with the potential clinical benefit of certain health services and medications.
