Achieve Better Member Adherence & Outcomes to Support Reimbursement

ReferWell significantly increases MA member follow through with care by allowing your plan’s provider network and care navigators to schedule care at the referable moment. This not only helps the plan achieve its quality goals, but leads to better outcomes. And when members get the care they need, plans get the data to more accurately code and, where appropriate, increase CMS reimbursement.

More Care Gaps Closed

ReferWell impacts more than one-third of MA members we engage by employing care navigators who meet patients at the referable moment. That includes gaps in care for colorectal and breast cancer screenings, DEXA scans, retinopathies and Annual Wellness Visits.

About Medicare Advantage Plans

Like Medicaid MCOs and accountable care organizations, Medicare Advantage (MA) plans accept a set (capitated) per member per month payment for the services they provide and are therefore incentivized to provide the most efficient, highest quality care at the lowest cost.

Simplifying access to care and improving the member experience are constant priorities for MA plans, as beneficiaries and national agencies rate plans on these areas and the results affect capitated payments, member retention and even the plan's long-term sustainability.

MA plans are also under increasing requests from the US Department of Health and Human Services to not only charge the government for Health Risk Assessments completed but also prove that plans are providing the appropriate follow-up member care. 

This pressure makes it even more critical for plans to leverage the referable moment to get members to appointments and document the care received.
