4.4 Wellness Management Opportunities
As discussed in Figure 4.1.2, Verscend uses the RRS, CGI and total cost to stratify a population for Disease
management. Patients who are well are most efficiently addressed through Wellness Programs. This corresponds
to Category "C" in Figure 4.1.2.
Table 4.4.1 details screening and preventative tests - and the associated compliance with these tests - for the entire
population. These data are benchmarked against the Verscend Commercial Norm. Wellness programs (e.g. an
initiative to increase mammogram compliance rates) based on this information can significantly improve health plan
performance on these measures.

If the underlying CPT codes for each laboratory test or panel are not submitted to Verscend in the medical claims then the
compliance in the Quality and Risk Measures will appear lower than they actually are.
