Honest Health

We partner with health systems and physicians to help them move from traditional fee-for-service models to value-based care. Our goal is to improve senior care, manage costs, and get better results for patients, while also making primary care more sustainable long-term.

We offer solutions to build shared financial risk models. This includes strategies to achieve measurable quality and financial improvements, collaborative care models that work with existing teams to improve outcomes for Medicare patients, and financial protection through risk solutions and revenue strategies. We also have a tool called the Honest Estimator that helps our partners identify potential savings in value-based care.

We combine comprehensive documentation integrity (CDI) with clinical capabilities to support physician-led patient care, ensuring accurate data capture and informed decisions. We support care teams by integrating various roles such as Health Coaches, Pharmacists, Advanced Practice Providers, Social Workers, Transitions of Care Coordinators, Dietitians, Behavioral Health Specialists, Primary Care Physicians, Nurses, and Care Coordinators.

We help health systems navigate the shift to value-based care, which aligns with goals like the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) objective for all Medicare recipients to be in value-based care models by 2030. Health systems that have adopted value-based care models have reported 10-20% reductions in costs and 15-25% improvements in care coordination. Fifty percent of hospital revenue is now tied to quality-based performance in these models.

We are in the Hospitals and Health Care industries and have 201-500 employees.

Our mission is to create advanced delivery systems that improve patient care outcomes and financial performance.
