Fostering Mutually Beneficial Relationships with Payers

In healthcare, there persists a misconception of a singular solution for payer relationships. Through our extensive industry expertise, we recognize the flaws in this notion. 

To us, the best value-based program is the one that best serves your unique provider and beneficiary mix. Leveraging our national payer network, alongside advanced analytics and nuanced localized insights, we negotiate the payer contracts specific to your health system that will drive results.

Comprehensive Value-Based Enablement
to Support All Patient Lives

COMMERCIAL PAYERS

As a result of our extensive experience working alongside health system partners, Lumeris understands the importance of balancing value-based and fee-for-service business models. A critical component of managing total cost of care for value-based patients is optimizing in-network utilization of high-value providers and facilities. Through targeted physician education, we empower healthcare professionals to improve coordination across the continuum of care for their full patient panels. By leveraging our expertise, physicians and patients can benefit from improved care coordination and achieve better overall healthcare outcomes.

MEDICAID

Lumeris is committed to ensuring that patients with the greatest need have access to the same population health infrastructure regardless of payer type. We deploy our predictive analytics and patient engagement tools to support our partners in maximizing performance and improve quality outcomes and gaps in care closure for patients, including addressing health equity and SDoH needs.

TRADITIONAL MEDICARE

Lumeris offers our partners the opportunity to participate in various programs such as the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) and ACO REACH or a curated combination of both. This approach offers our partners flexibility to choose the model that best aligns with their risk tolerance and performance readiness. We work closely with our partners through targeted clinical programs to overcome common barriers associated with managing a traditional Medicare population, including appropriate documentation of health risk status and appropriate utilization.

MEDICARE ADVANTAGE

Lumeris offers our partners the opportunity to participate in risk-based Medicare Advantage arrangements through our Accountable Risk Organization, a joint risk-sharing entity, which leverages our collaborative payer relationships and allows for the mitigation of downside risk to providers. We provide deep expertise in managing value-based populations and payer contracting derived from twenty years of experience operating our highly successful Medicare Advantage plan, Essence Healthcare. Essence Healthcare has consistently achieved a 5-Star CMS rating, showcasing our commitment to exceptional healthcare delivery. Our Accountable Risk Organization negotiates and contracts risk-based arrangements directly with payers with performance supported through the deployment of a comprehensive team of in-market and centralized population health resources, advanced technology, and analytics. This holistic approach ensures that our partners have the necessary tools and expertise to effectively manage and improve outcomes for their population.
