Value-Based Care at Physician Housecalls

The Value Creation team partnered with the company to produce innovative value-based care arrangements

The Challenge

Physician Housecalls is a premier provider of home-based geriatric primary care services across Oklahoma and Kansas.

At the time of Council Capital’s investment, Physician Housecall’s revenue was entirely traditional fee-for-service. Value-based care (VBC) models, however, offered incentives that could drive better care for patients and better financial performance for the business.

To capture the full potential of these value-based care arrangements, the company needed to develop new skills around payer contracting and data analytics.

The Solution

The Value Creation Team partnered with Physician Housecalls to implement a series of best practices from across the Council ecosystem, including:

  • Strategy: Developed value-based care roadmap, and added Board members with deep VBC experience
  • Relationships: Leveraged the CEO Council cfor introductions to Medicare Advantage plans
  • Reimbursement Models: Entered four value-based care models incl. CMMI’s Primary Care First, MSSP ACOs, Medicare Advantage, and DCE programs
  • Analytics: Improved cost and utilization metrics and appropriately recorded HCC Risk Scores

The Results

In close partnership with the Value Creation Team, Physician Housecalls achieved terrific results and is well on its way to becoming the leading provider of home-based geriatric primary care across Oklahoma and Kansas
