HIGH QUALITY - LOW COST OUTCOMES
CARE COORDINATION IS A KEY FEATURE
OF EVOLVING CARE MODELS
As the shift to value-based reimbursement requires healthcare providers assume greater responsibility for care outcomes, you must find new ways to engage and partner with your patients.

OF EVOLVING CARE MODELS
As the shift to value-based reimbursement requires healthcare providers assume greater responsibility for care outcomes, you must find new ways to engage and partner with your patients. Vigilance Health solves this problem with a comprehensive, patient-centered care management platform and care management team.
CARE MANAGEMENT PLATFORM
The platform utilizes predictive modeling algorithms to identify risk profiles for program participants, creates unified, evidence-based care plans, manages interventions and barriers to care, such as basic living, transportation, economic and education needs – all of which can prevent patients from realizing optimal outcomes.
VIGILANCE HEALTH CARE TEAM
Our experienced Care Coordinators manage and gauge a member’s knowledge of his or her condition, adherence to the physician’s treatment plan, support systems, self-management, medical history, labs and medications. We also help the patient develop a plan and set goals, and overcome the barriers to managing their condition.
NEW REVENUE STREAMS
GET PAID NOW AND PREPARE
FOR THE FUTURE
To succeed under alternative payment models, healthcare providers need to develop population health management (PHM) skills and infrastructure. But with fee-for-service (FFS) reimbursement still dominating most markets, many providers are hesitant to make necessary investments.
However, we help Providers realize a substantial short-term return on these investments through FFS payments for PHM services. Specifically, the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule now includes payment for the following six PHM services, and provides a clear path to new revenue.

NEW OPPORTUNITY
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
INTEGRATION SERVICES
Effective January 1, 2017, CMS now reimburses practitioners for integrating behavioral health services into their primary care practices. Like CCM and TCM, Medicare will make monthly payments for Behavioral Health Integration (BHI) services.
There are two categories of BHI services: Psychiatric Collaborative Care Services (CoCM) and General BHI.
COCM: which is more resource intensive, takes “typical” primary care services and incorporates care management and regular psychiatric support.
GENERAL BHI: can be billed for core behavioral health services, including systematic assessment and monitoring, care plan revision, and relationship development with a care team member.
