With ACCESS through HealthyConnect, HealthyConnect delivers the ongoing care and bills Medicare directly. Your team keeps its clinical relationship and can earn separate payment for qualifying review and coordination.
ACCESS ties the care organization’s payment to measured outcomes. HealthyConnect operates its care service and bills Medicare directly, while eligible clinicians bill separately for qualifying co-management.
TWO ROLES. TWO PAYMENT PATHS.
$100 in illustrative first-year payments ÷ 22.5 modeled review minutes. Includes $90 for three qualifying reviews and $10 for qualifying onboarding.
The time estimate covers three 7.5-minute reviews; onboarding, billing and other administrative time are additional. Actual payments vary with practitioner type, geography and applicable adjustments.
