Proactive Panel Management
Our provider liaisons help practices stay ahead of routine Medicaid care needs with data and technology. We conduct timely outreach for high-risk patients, and review charts to help develop care plans.
Data Reporting
We turn data into practical insights that help practices manage quality and financial performance. Your practice liaison will share these reports regularly and help to identify areas to improve our partnership, model, and performance.

Diverge helps to streamline activity across your Medicaid payer partners and provide access to attractive value-based contracts. Providers bear no risk, pay no fees, and have a single set of goals to meet. No more juggling the demands of different payers.
