Value-Based Care RCM Services for Quality-Driven Healthcare Practices
Value-based care pays on outcomes, quality metrics, and documented care coordination. Generic billing infrastructure built for fee-for-service misses the reporting requirements, risk adjustment accuracy, and shared savings documentation that determine what your practice actually collects under VBC contracts.
Performance data from MBC-managed practices operating under MIPS, ACO MSSP, and commercial VBC contracts
Most Practices Are Participating in Value-Based Care but Billing for Fee-for-Service
VBC reimbursement is not automatic. It is earned through accurate quality measure reporting, correct risk adjustment coding, documented care coordination, and timely shared savings reconciliation. Practices that submit clean claims but have no VBC-specific billing infrastructure leave a portion of their contracted performance payment uncaptured every reporting cycle.
Value-Based Care RCM Services by Payment Model
The Value-Based Care Payment Models MBC Supports
Merit-Based Incentive Payment System: Quality Reporting, Promoting Interoperability, and Improvement Activities
MIPS composite scoring determines whether MIPS-eligible clinicians receive a positive or negative Medicare payment adjustment. MBC manages quality measure selection, data submission to CMS, Promoting Interoperability attestation, and Improvement Activity documentation to maximise composite scores and protect payment rates.
Accountable Care Organisation and Medicare Shared Savings Program Billing and Documentation
ACO participation ties shared savings distributions to total cost of care benchmarks and quality measure performance. MBC supports ACO billing with accurate attribution documentation, care coordination coding, and the quality measure reporting infrastructure that determines shared savings eligibility at year-end reconciliation.
Commercial Payer Value-Based Contracts: Capitation, Bundled Payments, and Pay-for-Performance
Commercial VBC contracts vary by payer and plan. MBC maps each contract's quality metrics, reporting timelines, and reconciliation requirements into the billing workflow, ensuring the practice captures every performance incentive and avoids the documentation gaps that trigger recoupment under pay-for-performance arrangements.
Where Value-Based Care Revenue Gets Lost
The Billing Gaps That Reduce VBC Reimbursement Without Appearing in Standard RCM Reports
These failures are invisible in fee-for-service billing dashboards. They only become visible at payer reconciliation, when the performance payment is lower than the practice's clinical activity warranted.
Quality Measures Reported on Too Few Eligible Patients to Count Toward MIPS Scoring
MIPS requires quality measures to meet a minimum denominator threshold to be included in the composite score calculation. Practices that report measures on a small patient subset fail to meet the threshold, which removes those measures from scoring and lowers the composite score used to calculate the payment adjustment.
HCC Conditions Documented in the Chart but Never Coded on the Claim
Risk adjustment under Medicare Advantage and ACO contracts depends on HCC codes appearing on submitted claims, not just in the clinical record. A diagnosis documented in the progress note but absent from the claim does not count toward the patient's risk score, permanently reducing the practice's risk-adjusted payment for that year.
Care Coordination Services Delivered but Not Billed as Separately Reimbursable G-Codes
Chronic Care Management (99490 series), Transitional Care Management (99495, 99496), and Remote Patient Monitoring (99453, 99454) are all separately billable under VBC-aligned fee schedules. Practices delivering these services without a structured billing workflow for care coordination codes forfeit the revenue on every qualifying patient encounter.
Annual Wellness Visits and Preventive Services Not Captured to Support Quality Measure Numerators
Many MIPS and ACO quality measures use Annual Wellness Visits, preventive screenings, and chronic disease management visits as numerator events. When these visits are not billed with the correct codes, they fail to populate quality measure numerators in the registry, reducing the practice's reported performance rate on those measures.
Shared Savings Reconciliation Errors From Incomplete Attribution Documentation
ACO shared savings distributions are calculated against an attributed patient panel. Patients attributed incorrectly, or whose primary care relationship is not documented in claims data, may be excluded from the practice's attributed panel. A smaller attributed panel reduces the savings calculation base and the practice's share of any generated savings.
Promoting Interoperability Attestation Left Incomplete, Triggering a Mandatory MIPS Penalty
Promoting Interoperability is a required MIPS category worth 25 points. Failing to attest results in a mandatory score of zero for the entire category, which can make a positive payment adjustment mathematically impossible regardless of performance in the other three MIPS categories.
MBC Value-Based Care RCM Services
How MBC Builds Revenue Cycle Infrastructure for Value-Based Care Contracts
Each service addresses a distinct component of VBC reimbursement. Full detail on MBC's revenue cycle management services is available on the services page.
MIPS Quality Measure Selection and Registry Submission
MBC selects the quality measures most advantageous for your specialty and patient population, monitors denominator thresholds throughout the performance year, and submits measure data through a CMS-approved registry before the submission deadline to maximise composite score performance.
HCC Capture and Prospective Risk Adjustment Coding
MBC's certified coders conduct prospective HCC reviews against the clinical record, identifying documented chronic conditions that have not been coded on claims. Each identified HCC is corrected before submission to ensure the patient's risk score reflects the full complexity of their documented care.
Care Coordination Billing: CCM, TCM, and RPM Code Capture
MBC implements a structured billing workflow for Chronic Care Management, Transitional Care Management, and Remote Patient Monitoring codes, capturing time documentation requirements, qualifying conditions, and monthly billing thresholds to bill every eligible patient every month without generating compliance risk.
Preventive Visit and Annual Wellness Coding Aligned to Quality Measure Numerators
MBC maps each MIPS and ACO quality measure's denominator definition to the specific CPT and HCPCS codes required to populate its numerator. Every qualifying preventive or wellness visit is billed with the exact code set the registry or ACO reporting system recognises, converting completed clinical encounters into credited quality performance events.
ACO Attribution Management and Shared Savings Documentation
MBC monitors claims-based attribution patterns to identify patients at risk of incorrect attribution, documents primary care relationships through correct place-of-service and provider coding, and prepares the supporting documentation required for shared savings reconciliation submissions.
Promoting Interoperability Attestation and Improvement Activity Documentation
MBC manages the full PI attestation workflow: confirming all required measure thresholds are met within the EHR, completing the CMS attestation submission before the deadline, and documenting Improvement Activities at the specificity level CMS requires to qualify for the IA bonus where applicable.
Value-Based Care Billing Code Reference
Key CPT and G-Codes for Value-Based Care RCM
VBC billing introduces care coordination codes, preventive service codes, and risk adjustment documentation requirements that do not exist in standard fee-for-service workflows.
Care Coordination Codes: CCM, TCM, and Remote Patient Monitoring
| CPT / Code | Description | VBC Billing Note |
|---|---|---|
| 99490 / 99491 | Chronic Care Management: 20 minutes (99490) and 30 minutes clinical staff time (99491) | Requires two or more chronic conditions, written care plan, and patient consent. Bill monthly per qualifying patient. Time must be documented. |
| 99495 / 99496 | Transitional Care Management: Moderate complexity (99495) and High complexity (99496) | Bill within 30 days of hospital or facility discharge. Requires direct patient contact within 7 or 14 days depending on complexity level. |
| 99453 / 99454 | Remote Patient Monitoring: Device setup (99453) and monthly supply and transmission (99454) | 99454 billed monthly when device transmits data at least 16 days per 30-day period. Requires order and patient-facing device supplied by the practice. |
| 99457 / 99458 | Remote Physiologic Monitoring Treatment Management: First 20 minutes (99457) and each additional 20 minutes (99458) | Requires interactive communication with patient during the month. Bill alongside 99454, not in place of it. |
Why Provider Groups Choose MBC for VBC Billing
What MBC Brings to Value-Based Care Revenue Cycle Management
VBC and Fee-for-Service Managed in a Single Integrated Workflow
Most practices run VBC and FFS contracts simultaneously. MBC manages both within one engagement, applying FFS billing rules on standard claims while layering VBC-specific quality reporting, care coordination coding, and risk adjustment workflows on top, without creating a parallel administrative operation.
Year-Round MIPS Monitoring Rather Than Year-End Scramble
MIPS performance is determined by data collected across the full performance year. MBC monitors quality measure performance monthly, flags denominator shortfalls before they become unrecoverable, and adjusts measure strategy mid-year when patient population changes affect scoring projections.
Prospective HCC Review Conducted Before Claims Close
Retrospective HCC correction is limited by timely filing rules and payer reconsideration windows. MBC identifies HCC gaps prospectively during the encounter billing workflow, ensuring conditions are coded on the original claim submission rather than requiring an amended claim or appeal.
Contract-Specific Reporting Built for Each Payer's VBC Requirements
Commercial VBC contracts from United, Aetna, BCBS, and other payers each carry distinct quality metrics, reporting formats, and reconciliation timelines. MBC maps each contract's requirements into a dedicated reporting workflow rather than applying a one-size approach across all VBC payers.
Compliance-Focused Care Coordination Billing That Avoids Audit Triggers
CCM and TCM billing generates scrutiny when time documentation, care plan currency, or patient consent records are incomplete. MBC's care coordination billing workflow builds compliance documentation into every billable encounter before the claim is submitted, not after a payer requests records.
VBC Performance Reporting Separate From Standard RCM Dashboards
Standard billing dashboards show claims and collections. MBC provides a separate VBC performance layer showing quality measure rates by measure, HCC capture rates by provider, care coordination billing totals, and projected MIPS payment adjustment based on year-to-date composite scores.

Provider Groups Trust MBC for Value-Based Care Revenue Cycle Management
Results from provider groups that engaged MBC to manage their VBC billing alongside fee-for-service.
We had been MIPS-eligible for three years without ever receiving a positive payment adjustment. MBC overhauled our measure selection and reporting workflow. We received our first positive adjustment in year one of working with them.
Our ACO shared savings payment came in significantly lower than projected for two consecutive years. MBC identified that we had attribution documentation gaps affecting nearly 200 patients. The correction was reflected in year three reconciliation.
We were delivering CCM services but not billing for them because our previous billing team did not know the code requirements. MBC implemented CCM billing across 340 qualifying patients. The added revenue covered the cost of our entire RCM engagement.
