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.

Please Note:

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.
