— Commercial Value-Based Care & Medicaid Quality


Commercial VBC and Medicaid programs — clarified.


Guidance on payer-specific incentive programs, state Medicaid quality initiatives, and HEDIS compliance — tailored to how your organization is actually structured.

Commercial VBC & Medicaid Quality Support

Commercial Payer Quality & Incentive Programs Commercial payers increasingly tie reimbursement to quality performance rather than volume — through pay-for-performance arrangements, quality attestations, and incentive programs layered on top of your existing contracts. We track what each payer requires, manage attestations, and help you capture the incentive dollars already built into your contracts.

Medicaid Managed Care Quality Reporting States contracting with Medicaid MCOs, PIHPs, or PAHPs are federally required to have an External Quality Review Organization (EQRO) evaluate those plans every year against the CMS Child and Adult Core Set measures, with results published in a public Annual Technical Report. If you're an MCO, a delegated provider group, or a vendor supporting one, we help you prepare for and perform well under that review — from performance measure validation to the compliance review states run on a three-year cycle.

HEDIS Compliance & Care Gap Closure HEDIS scores drive both commercial Star Ratings and Medicaid plan performance — and directly affect the incentive and withhold dollars tied to them. We help identify open care gaps, prioritize which measures move the needle most, and build a closure plan your care team can actually execute before measurement periods close.

State-Specific Quality Improvement Program Navigation Every state runs its Medicaid quality program a little differently — different Core Set measure selections, different withhold arrangements, different reporting cadences. We translate your specific state's requirements into a plan built around your organization's structure, so you're not guessing at what applies to you.

The Benefit of Expert Support

Maximize Incentive & Withhold Recovery Quality withholds and pay-for-performance bonuses are often left on the table simply because measures weren't tracked closely enough during the year.

Protect Payer & Network Relationships Consistent, well-documented quality performance strengthens your standing with commercial payers and state Medicaid agencies alike and keeps renewal and network conversations on your terms.

Minimize Regulatory & Contract Risk Missed EQR requirements or underperformance against Core Set measures can trigger corrective action plans, financial penalties, or contract risk with your state Medicaid agency.

Capitalize on Strategic Growth Strong quality performance is leverage, it supports better payer contract terms and positions your organization for new value-based arrangements.
