Managing a healthcare provider network requires constant oversight and strategic decision-making. Quest Enterprise Services® (QES®) Volume Terminations is a powerful tool designed to streamline
your provider termination strategy, giving you complete visibility into the impact of removing providers from multiple networks. With this fast and efficient process, you can take a proactive approach toward provider network management, network adequacy compliance, and network maintenance strategies.
Volume Terminations can help you understand:
- Who are these providers?
- What specialty do they practice?
- Do they practice at multiple locations?
- Are they contracted across multiple networks and/or programs?
- How do we ensure our networks are not significantly impacted if we end the agreements?
This includes analyzing the members who will be impacted, calculating the effect on various lines of business, and determining how it affects your coverage and compliance.

Simply put, QES Volume Terminations provides a crystal ball that can help you master provider network management with a newfound level of speed, analytics and precision. Let’s dive into the main ways in which QES Volume Terminations can turbocharge your provider network management.
What Can QES Volume Terminations do for your provider network management?
Speed, Analytics and Precision
Effective provider network management requires actionable data and efficient decision-making. That’s where QES Volume Terminations can transform your approach with the functionality to plan your networks proactively and make data-driven decisions about terminating providers or provider groups—all with speed, accuracy, and confidence.
Our advanced analytics allow you to assess the impact of removing National Provider Identifiers (NPIs) or Tax Identification Numbers (TINs) across all your provider networks and lines of business simultaneously. What’s even better, if you only have the NPI or the TIN, that’s okay—that’s all you need to generate the same powerful insights.
In four simple steps, you’ll know:
- The specialties, counties and lines of business affected by the provider’s termination.
- The number of gaps created in each network the provider participates in.
- Your network adequacy score for both your current and projected networks.
With quick and efficient results, you can say adios to hours of cross-referencing databases and sacrificing sleep to stay ahead. QES Volume Terminations will do the heavy lifting for you, leaving you with more time to revel in your freedom.
