Transforming high performing, in-demand practices

From fee for service to fee for value.

Value Based IQ gives independent physicians the tools, knowledge and skills to succeed in value-based care. Our ten-part program is a road map for the shift. And with the Care Call, every patient gets a care manager.

Explore the VBIQ program Meet the Care Call

Fee for service

  • Paid for each visit and procedure
  • Care happens in the office
  • Patients go unmanaged between visits

Fee for value

  • Rewarded for quality, outcomes and cost
  • Shared savings for well-managed populations
  • Every patient managed, every day

The value of VBIQ

Improving quality, cost and value.

Healthcare reimbursement is moving from paying for volume to paying for value. Value Based IQ was founded on a more effective way to manage patients, improve outcomes, increase patient satisfaction and deliver more cost-effective care.

When patients are managed in an independent practice environment, payers, employers and patients all benefit. That is the basis of population health management and value-based care, and the future of how physicians are paid.

The VBIQ program

The Care Call

Every patient gets a care manager.

Fee for value is won or lost between visits. The Care Call is an AI care manager that checks in with patients by phone, brings anything that needs attention to their own physician, and follows up to make sure the next step happens.

Care management used to be rationed to the highest-risk few. The Care Call reaches the whole panel, in 80+ languages, so your care team can spend its time on the patients who need a person most. It never diagnoses or treats.

One care call, start to finish

1
Check in
Calls on the schedule your care team sets.
2
Listen
Asks how the patient is doing, about medications, and what is in the way.
3
Escalate
Sends anything that needs attention to the patient's own physician.
4
Follow up
Calls back to confirm the next step actually happened.

Find the root cause

Missed refills, a ride that fell through, a side effect nobody mentioned. The Care Call surfaces why a patient is off track.

Monitor and intervene early

Regular check-ins catch early warning signs while there is still time for the physician to act.

Motivate and educate

Every call reinforces the plan the physician set, in plain language, so patients stay engaged in their own care.
