BRING NETWORK ADEQUACY TO YOUR ENTIRE ORGANIZATION
MEDICARE ADVANTAGE NETWORK ADEQUACY
At the core of our Network Adequacy Services are the time and distance requirements, used by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS). We then take the standard Adequacy Analysis to the next level by incorporating aggregate scoring, network trending, time-sliced comparisons, provider data management and identified changed providers. These additional insights give you a complete picture of your network.
You’ll find our executive summary dashboard is an invaluable tool for providing an overview of all the networks you manage. QES includes an aggregate adequacy score and allows modeling of your network to demonstrate what happens when providers are added and removed over time. This modeling includes insight into the impact removing inaccurate data will have on your network adequacy through our Accuracy Gap Analysis. This before and after view includes the number of additional gaps, the impact on your adequacy score and what inaccurate information caused the gaps.
Take your network analysis one step further and compare your network against current market providers to understand the depth of your network. View the gaps in your network, their age, and how they have changed daily, weekly or monthly.

EFFICIENCIES WITH MEMBERSHIP
Visualizing your provider network based on a federal or state provided beneficiary or census file is important to measure your network adequacy for compliance. You also want to see how much coverage your have for your members. Often, it is necessary to utilize your membership file or multiple membership files. Quest Enterprise Services allows you to upload your membership file and run comparative analyses.
- Membership Analysis – Run analyses based on your custom membership distribution file.
- Membership Compare – Compare analyses across membership distribution data or with the sample beneficiary file.
- Membership Risk – See the number of members at risk due to any deficiencies, or gaps, in your provider network at the state and county levels.
- Membership Binding – Assign a specific subset of your membership to a given specialty.
GAIN EFFICIENCIES WITH VOLUME ACTIONS
Terminating and targeting large groups of providers or facilities one at a time is a highly inefficient process especially if done across multiple lines of business. What if you could run “what-if” scenarios to see the impact of terminating or targeting large groups of providers or facilities? And, once it is time to produce provider and specialty reports, wouldn’t it be easier to run the reports across multiple projects and service areas versus on a project-by-project basis and customize the reports to gain more actionable insights?
