01

Predictable capitation

Move from claim-by-claim billing to dependable monthly payments tied to your attributed members.

02

Shared surplus

When care is well managed, the savings are shared. You earn on the outcomes you drive, not only the visits you bill.

04

Risk adjustment & coding

Certified coders and point-of-care documentation support capture your panel's acuity accurately and compliantly.

05

Quality & care management

Support for quality gaps, annual wellness visits, and high-risk members, so outcomes and scores move together.

06

Technology & analytics

A live view of your panel: gaps, utilization, rising risk, and where the next best action sits.

How performance is won

Surplus is not luck.

It comes from a focused set of levers, worked patiently, member by member. These are the places where value-based performance is actually made.

01

Risk-adjustment gap closure

Capture true panel acuity through complete, compliant documentation.

02

Avoidable ED reduction

Redirect non-emergent visits to the right, lower-cost site of care.

03

Inpatient & readmission management

Tighten transitions of care to keep members out of the hospital.

04

HEDIS quality-gap closure

Close measurable quality gaps that drive both outcomes and ratings.

05

Annual wellness visit completion

Bring members in early to plan care before problems escalate.

06

Referral leakage control

Keep referrals inside high-value, well-coordinated networks.

07

Unseen-member outreach

Reach newly attributed and unseen members before risk compounds.

08

Rising-risk stratification

Find members trending toward high cost while intervention still works.

09

Provider-level variation

Surface cost and quality variation, then coach toward the best patterns.

10

Post-acute & SNF spend

Manage skilled-nursing and post-acute utilization, the costliest tail of care.

Common questions

What partners ask first.

Do we stay independent?

Yes. There is no acquisition and no rebrand. You keep your patients, your name, and your clinical decisions. Empire Gate handles the payer contracting and the operations of risk around you.

What is capitation, in plain terms?

Instead of billing for each visit, you receive a predictable monthly payment for each attributed member. Manage their care well, and you share in the surplus those savings create.

What does joining cost the practice?

The model is built to reward performance, not to add overhead. We will walk through the specific economics for your panel before anything is signed, so the arrangement is clear from the start.

Who handles risk adjustment and quality work?

We do, alongside your team. Certified coders, point-of-care documentation support, and care-management resources sit behind the network, so the heavy lifting does not fall on your front desk.

What kinds of practices fit?

Primary care and multispecialty practices in New York that see managed-care and value-based members, from solo offices to larger groups. If you see members in risk-based plans, there is likely a fit worth exploring.

We are a health plan. How do we work with Empire Gate?

We contract as one accountable network and can take delegated risk for the populations you serve, with the risk-adjustment accuracy, quality work, and reporting that plans expect. Reach out and we will scope it together.
