“We are extremely pleased to have achieved such a significant improvement in our ACO performance in such a short period of time,” said Albert Tomchaney, MD, Chief Medical Officer for the Franciscan Health Alliance. “The improvement is a direct result of the outstanding work being done by our team to execute on the actuarial insights, network opportunities and cost reduction opportunities identified by our partner Cedar Gate.”

Its prospective bundled payment administration system automatically converts multiple fee-for-service claims into a single bundled claim, with subsequent unbundling, adjudication and payment.
