As more and more provider organizations enter into risk-sharing agreements, provider engagement programs are experiencing a surge in participation. Provider engagement programs improve the collaborative relationship between plans and providers to keep documentation up-to-date for CMS submission. It's essential for plans to offer a variety of delivery methods to suit the provider's practice. Some practices enjoy an in-person, on-site method to receive personalized guidance for education and to maximize documentation opportunities, while other practices enjoy an EMR-integrated solution for a highly efficient digital workflow. Providers with an already established process for responding to queries may prefer a remote option via fax. The important aspect of a healthy provider engagement program is not necessarily the delivery method but rather the timely and continuous communication between plans and providers to close gaps on addressable conditions.
