TEN REASONS HEALTHCARE EXECUTIVES

ENGAGE THE PROGRAM

1. THE PLATFORM starts by showing exactly

how CMS currently grades each provider and

identifies what mandated services and revenue are

missing for Fee-for-Service beneficiaries.

2. THE PLATFORM maximizes compliance and

revenue in the Medicare Fee-for-Service world by

providing medically necessary services in the

background away from the practice workflow.

3. THE results are uploaded or

dragged and dropped into the provider’s

EHR with no integration needed.

4. The technology also specializes in Medicare

Advantage (MA), Accountable Care Organizations

(ACOs), and Medicare Shared Savings Programs

(MSSPs). Risk Sharing Specialists

(PRSS) division, is directed by our C-level executive,

a former market president for one of the largest and

top MA plans nationally with over 15 years of direct

experience turning around failing MAs and ACOs.

PRSS division has taken this knowledge and

expertise a significant step further with sophisticated

algorithms that our technology automates allowing

for a much greater impact. This is how THE

PROGRAM assures even greater success.

5. THE PROGRAM also targets and provides

metrics and engagement on commercial, self-insured,

or cash pay patients/beneficiaries as well.

TEN REASONS HEALTHCARE EXECUTIVES

ENGAGE THE PROGRAM

6. THE PROGRAM has four technology/patient

engagement offerings to choose from. Many clients

use all four offerings depending on their specific

payer mix.

7. THE PROGRAM has a one-of-a-kind Series LLC

through A Risk Share Cooperative that allows It to

break out providers based on risk preferences,

provider performance, and patient complexity

recognizing the risk these patients present to the

success of these programs.

8. We work with underwriters and sponsors such as

Assar, Wellvana, Humana MA, Centene MA, BCBS,

BCN+Risk, Priority Health MA, Sedara, and growing.

The program through these offerings are able to place

providers under the groups/umbrellas so that

providers either isolate their risk or allow them to

maximize shared gains by not having them dragged

down by poor performers.

9. THE PROGRAM provides four individual

revenue silos to providers: a) Fee-for-Service,

b) Capitation, c) Shared Risk, and d) Provider

Compliance Rewards which are group discounts and

incentives that are applied back to the

bottom line of the Series LLC entities.

10. THE PROGRAM'S traditional services have no

upfront cost, and nothing is owed until after insurance

pays.

The programs  One-of-a-Kind Proprietary Technology identifies care and compliance gaps, then provides the care coordination and compliance steps required based on the CMS Standard of Care. It then goes one step further by interweaving all other measuring metrics such as MACRA/MIPS/STAR/HEDIS/QCM. 

The platform is also able to pivot by payer to any of these desired measures. No integration is needed, nor will the provider ever even login or see our system as we operate in the background away from the staff and office workflow.

 By leading with our technology, we are able to save millions of dollars in labor by simply electronically triaging those higher risk patients needing to see their provider, while continuing to manage the healthier ones remotely.  This allows us to focus our labor dollars on specific high touch encounters.

The Virtual Support Network (VSN) is a national network of healthcare professionals consisting of physicians, PAs, NPs, MAs and health coaches that allow providers to extend their office staff and bandwidth without upfront cost to the practice.

 At a time when it is difficult to find or retain staff, much less find the resources to pay them, the platform literally has tens of thousands of these VSN professionals. Once they complete the medically necessary tasks remotely on behalf of the provider, the results and notes are simply dragged and dropped or uploaded into the EHR.

 All work is then submitted as a superbill directly into the provider’s gateway clearinghouse on their behalf, along with all notes and documentation required to support the claim. 

In an industry often clouded by complexity our partner brings clarity and client-focused innovation. While many rebate aggregators promise guaranteed rebates, these often come with strings attached – exclusions, qualifications, and hidden clauses. Our ethos is different. We prioritize clear, transparent dealings and align our strategies closely with the unique needs of PBM and health plan administrators. Our approach is not just about managing rebates; it's about redefining the standards of engagement, ensuring that our clients are equipped to navigate the complexities of pharmaceutical management with confidence and clarity.

In the complex world of pharmaceutical rebates, clarity and alignment with client goals are paramount.

Sourcing Strategies: 

We source products and services for healthcare professionals and Consumers.

Strategic sourcing is becoming more common as supply chain and procurement procedures change due to digital transformation. Analyzing what an organization purchases, from whom, at what cost, and in what quantity is essential. Strategic sourcing differs from conventional purchasing in that it optimizes the sourcing process through continual market study and connections with suppliers, emphasizing the total cost of ownership and the original purchase price.

Procurement managers can ensure they purchase the products or services required from suppliers who satisfy their delivery and quality standards by employing a strategic sourcing strategy to plan. Strategic sourcing services simplify the process, even though it may seem tricky.

Some sourcing strategies include: 

Clinician-driven sourcing creates value for health care organizations by increasing partnerships between clinicians and procurement staff, improving safety and quality of care for patients, and enhancing customer service while reducing overall spend. It is rooted with a value analysis structure lead by an executive-sponsored committee and engages stakeholders in various operational capacities based upon products and services reviewed. The infographic provides an example of a value analysis structure used in many health care organizations.

Strategic sourcing: This strategy can help healthcare providers address cost pressures and other challenges. It can also help ensure that procurement processes align with business goals. 

We can also do your collections if needed at no additional fee. Our fee is built in to the product and services.
