Medicaid Risk Adjustment and Quality

Optum has the expertise, breadth and scale to help optimize and support your Medicaid risk and quality programs.

Report more accurate health status

Accurately documenting the health status of Medicaid populations is important to your plan’s risk and quality programs. States differ in their individual Medicaid regulations, reimbursements and penalties. It can be a challenge for health plans to stay current with ongoing changes.

Our comprehensive risk and quality services

Provider engagement

In addition to the challenges in keeping up with state regulations, plans can also face challenges engaging with providers. We can help you determine which provider engagement strategy may be most effective for your network and can empower providers with timely, actionable data at the point of care.

Member engagement

Engagement with Medicaid members is critical to identifying health conditions and closing gaps in care. We enable you to precisely target the right members, understand how to support them and efficiently deliver programs based on their needs.

Encounter submissions

Your organization’s data, resources and needs are unique. We combine consultative services and technology to provide transparency and workflow tools via a self-service portal. We will intake encounter data, transform it and submit it to State Managed Medicaid as required.

Adjusted claims

Medicaid organizations are required to submit complete and accurate claims data to satisfy state agency requirements. To report a more complete picture of member health, Optum helps coordinate a provider review and claim correction for unreported conditions found in medical records.
