Financial Impact Analytics
Financial Impact Analytics for ACOs
Analyze cost, utilization, and financial performance to identify trends early and take action.

What is Financial Impact Analytics?
Financial Impact Analytics helps Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) monitor cost, utilization, and financial outcomes across their population throughout the performance year.
It brings together claims and clinical data through a unified Population Health Analytics platform to provide a clear view of performance, enabling teams to understand trends, evaluate progress, and make informed decisions.
How Does Financial Impact
Analytics Improve Performance?
Financial Impact Analytics equips ACO leaders with the ability to identify cost drivers earlier, improve financial visibility, and take action before year-end results are finalized.
Quickly identify spikes in DME, inpatient, or post-acute utilization and understand what’s driving the change.
Track cost, utilization, and financial performance monthly to stay on pace for shared savings—not just after CMS reconciliation- while also aligning with Quality Measures reporting.
Pinpoint providers contributing to higher costs or losses and support targeted engagement and performance improvement.
Surface unusual patterns in claims data to investigate potential fraud or inappropriate utilization before it impacts performance.
Understand your financial trajectory and make adjustments throughout the year to improve outcomes and avoid surprises.

Analytics Capabilities
Financial Impact Analytics enables ACOs to move beyond retrospective reporting by providing timely visibility into cost, utilization, risk, and financial performance. From forecasting shared savings to drilling into the drivers behind utilization trends, teams gain the insight needed to evaluate performance, identify opportunities, and take action earlier.
Precision HCC Scoring
& Risk Projections
Inaccurate risk adjustment understates true population risk — and impacts shared savings performance. Financial Impact Analytics automatically aligns each patient to the correct CMS eligibility model so RAF scores, benchmarks, and projections are aligned to CMS calculations and reflect true population risk.
Accurate Risk Adjustment: Each patient is aligned to the correct CMS eligibility model (e.g., ESRD, Disabled, Aged Non-Dual, Aged Dual) to improve RAF accuracy and reflect true population risk.
Granular Visibility Across Your Population: Drill down from enterprise to provider to patient level to identify which providers and patients are driving cost, risk, and financial performance.
Scenario-Based Performance Modeling: Use pre-built scenarios based on historical performance and current HCC data to project outcomes and evaluate potential impact.
Actionable Risk and Performance Insights: Identify high-impact patients and providers to support earlier intervention, provider engagement, and network optimization.

MSSP Financial
Projections & Forecasting
Most ACOs find out how they performed after CMS reconciliation — when it’s too late to act. Financial Impact Analytics provides ongoing visibility through quarterly claims updates and monthly HCC adjustments, so teams can understand performance trends, identify what they can still influence, and determine where corrective action may be needed.
Proactive Financial Visibility: Identify performance trends early so you can take timely action and improve financial outcomes.
Ongoing Performance Monitoring: Quarterly claims updates provide a current view of financial performance so teams can track progress, identify trends, and make informed course corrections throughout the year.
Targeted Intervention Planning: Understand high-cost patients and providers to prioritize interventions and manage utilization more effectively.
Shared Savings & Transparency: Assess projected shared savings, performance payouts, and individual contributions to support provider engagement and alignment.

Deep Performance
Insights & Trend Analysis
Financial Impact Analytics gives ACO leaders the ability to analyze performance trends at multiple levels—so you can move from high-level insight to the exact drivers of cost, utilization, and financial performance.
Multi-Level Performance Visibility: Track performance across ACO, group, practice, provider, and patient levels to identify variation, financial risk, and opportunities for improvement throughout the performance year.
Measure Intervention Impact Over Time: Monitor the effectiveness of interventions and evaluate progress throughout the year to understand what’s improving performance and where corrective action may be needed.
Flexible Claims, Visit, and Service Line Analysis: Analyze trends at the visit level for high-level patterns or drill into claims, DRGs, and service lines to understand the specific drivers behind cost and utilization changes across both Medicare and commercial populations.
Row-Level Drilldown to Source Data: Move instantly from summary trends to the underlying claims or visits with pre-applied filters, helping teams validate findings, answer questions faster, and act with confidence.
