Risk adjustment, quality and engagement

Prospective Solutions

Prospective Solutions for risk adjustment is a provider-first model of collaboration, data and technology to help achieve better outcomes.

A new approach to risk adjustment

Optum® Prospective Solutions offers pre-visit and point-of-care support to help improve member outcomes. Our services support early detection and ongoing evaluation of chronic conditions for Medicare Advantage (MA), Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Medicaid members on behalf of health plans.

These services include:

  • Prospective member assessments
  • Digital integration strategy and implementation
  • In-person and virtual support
  • Member engagement campaigns

The Optum field team provides virtual and in-person support

The team is made up of 1,000 Health Care Advocates who work directly with 70,000 providers to manage gaps in care in all 50 states. They deliver wraparound services for providers that are customized to the level and type of support each practice requires. 

We equip providers with actionable clinical insights, personalized member care gap information and administrative support. This helps create a workflow that prioritizes provider and member needs at the point of care and beyond. By reducing administrative burden, providers have more time to focus on clinical activities. In turn, this leads to better outcomes for members.
