McKesson recently announced that it has acquired HealthQX, bolstering its portfolio by adding the value-based payment technology, ClarityQX.
McKesson Health Solutions released a national study showing that value-based reimbursement (VBR) has become a mainstay for payments, but payers and providers have struggled to grasp the concept of the payment model. The newly acquired technology will provide McKesson with the ability to help its customers quickly switch to care based on value by automating complicated models of payment.
“The growth of bundled
payment is something payers and providers can’t ignore, and we want to ensure
our customers have all the tools they need to succeed,” Carolyn Wukitch, SVP of McKesson Health
Solutions, said. “These new
value-based payment analytics, reconciliation, and automation capabilities complement
our value-based reimbursement suite, because they give our customers the
capabilities to prepare for and scale bundled payment.”
ClarityQx is used to provide analytics for health plans and to automate retrospective bundled payment models. This will include McKesson’s Episode Management so it will be able to support automated payments for prospective bundled models.
