Pillar 1 - Our Mission:

 

We are dedicated to facilitating a sustainable and well-timed transition of the healthcare industry to value-based care on a large scale, with a primary focus on improving patient outcomes, reducing overall Medicare spending, and enabling individuals to age in place with greater independence and happiness. Additionally, we aim to lower the total cost of care across the continuum by assisting our partners in moving away from traditional fee-for-service models and negotiating financially sound and realistic value-based care agreements. Importantly, our advisory services go beyond deal development; we are skilled and experienced in operational transformation, infrastructure development, clinical workflow enhancement, and launching multidisciplinary teams. We also specialize in selecting and implementing appropriate care coordination tools, as well as building or sourcing data and analytical capabilities to deliver new, powerful, and actionable insights that ensure the success of your accountable care-optimized organization.

Pillar 2 - Whom We Serve:​

​​

We maintain a strategic focus & priority to partner with the three client segments we believe are the key and essential stakeholders driving the transformation of healthcare economics at scale:

  1. Provider Groups: This includes Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and Independent Practice Associations (IPAs) that take on financial risk and focus on value-based care.​

  2. Health Plans & Health Systems aligned w/ a Risk-Bearing Entity: We partner with commercial health plans that want to share more financial risk or create ACO partnerships. This includes Medicare organizations, such as ACOs or Medicare Advantage (MA) plans, involved in initiatives that promote accountable care. We also support Managed Medicaid Care Organizations and other entities that handle Special Needs Populations (SNPs) and seek to improve their care strategies and financial results.

  3. Partners in Value-Based Care: We assist organizations that help transform fee-for-service care for both payers and providers. managing complex SNP populations looking to advance their Accountable Care Strategy, Operations, Financial Outcomes, etc.

 

*We encourage you to reach out for testimonials or to schedule a meeting with our leadership team to learn about our experiences, the outcomes we have achieved, the types of clients we represent, our geographic presence (both past and future), and the sizes of populations we manage and provide advisory services for!

Pillar 3 - What We Provide:

Leveraging deep expertise in managed care operations and strategic governance (Medicare & Medicaid), we deliver comprehensive support across the value-based care spectrum:

  • Development and negotiation of VBC deals across the spectrum of risk; starting with claims analysis, we utilize proprietary benchmarking data to determine the optimal deal structure (e.g., upside-only/shared-risk through to full, global capitation) based on a proprietary risk-assessment analysis that includes both financial and operational risk(s). We then develop the optimal risk-aware deal-term parameters, including caps on upside and downside risk, shared-savings splits, and financial safeguards such as risk corridors, stop-loss provisions, and reinsurance sizing.

    • We simplify the deal development and negotiation process for you, ensuring full transparency in decision-making to keep you confident.​

    • We significantly build on that confidence by offering our comprehensive enablement and organizational transformation playbook. This resource provides you with all the data and insights you need to plan, build, launch, sustain operations, govern, and maximize deal upside throughout the year (no matter where you fall on the VBC deal risk spectrum).

  • Comprehensive dynamic P&L modeling and forecasting integrating MLR optimization through cohort analysis, LTV/retention trends, cost of care initiatives, delegated vendor contract performance, Stars/HEDIS upside, CMS rate guidance, risk adjustment regulatory impacts, and benefit utilization monitoring—with continuous re-modeling and actionable recommendations

  • Product portfolio optimization and pricing strategy across Commercial, Medicare Advantage, and Dual products, focused on maximizing ROI, patient outcomes, KPIs, GTM strategies, and margin enhancement through high-value benefit design

  • Executive-level strategic communication, including board-ready presentations and impactful reporting that drives informed decision-making

Testimonials

Successfully negotiating Value-Based Care and Strategy, especially in Managed Care is a rare skill. Many people throw these terms around with a sense of familiarity, but successfully developing and negotiating value-based healthcare programs requires unique experience and knowledge. I had the pleasure of working collaboratively with Preet on complex and strategic vendor agreements for Medicare Advantage plans. Preet navigated the negotiations easily and brought a tremendous amount of insight to the engagements. His in-depth knowledge of Managed Care truly separates him as an innovator and leader in the Managed Care space.

Jennifer Jackson - Managed Care & Business Development Executive (via LinkedIn)

Preet has been a vital contributing factor to my success. His team and their decisions directly impacted my team. Throughout our time working together, Preet proactively engaged with my team, shared ideas and implementation plans, and took on tasks in order to ensure our members were delighted. Preet helped implement major changes in our plan offerings and structure and did so while keeping our membership in mind, but also ensuring the decisions made the most sense for the business. I appreciate the work he accomplished and know that he would be a great asset to any company. 

Justin Vaughn - Head of Member Experience, Clover Health

Preet played a pivotal role supporting the team with strategic planning expertise. He was extremely good at building revenue forecasting models, BFIT and discounted cash flow analysis to help our teams with ROI analysis of operating expenses. He uniquely understood that without customers, profitability and clearly understood our goals and providing unadulterated sensitivity analysis on our ability to meet said goals. I enjoyed working with him, found him to be a thoughtful and considerate person. He had a unique way of making everyone feel respected and valued member of the team.

Dana Cutter - Accountable Care Solutions & Business Development (via LinkedIn)

Preet is an amazing professional, who brings all the skills and expertise in analytics and financial modeling. We collaborated on a time sensitive project to transform & consolidate the case management portfolio on behalf of senior leadership to support our population health cost savings target. Preet’s critical thinking ability to handle the project was unlike I’ve seen before. He made it seem simple by utilizing his analytical skills by compiling a report of all the case management programs offerings and trends. His extraordinary presentation skills helped the senior leadership to make the decision, including who were initially on completely different pages. Overall he is passionate about his work as evidenced by professionalism, excellent presentation skills, problem solving abilities, teamwork, and critical thinking skills. Preet always had a positive attitude, no matter the condition, and that kept the team going while working on a time sensitive project.
