Network gap analytics

Network gap analyticsThe numbers that survive the audit.

Coverage scored for every county and specialty, weighted by how Medicare patients actually use care and counted against the 65-plus population. The same scores that drive your executive dashboard export as the network-adequacy file you submit to CMS — one set of numbers, two destinations.

01

Why this matters to your plan.

Network adequacy is where a plan can lose the right to grow. Miss a threshold and CMS can freeze enrollment until you remediate. The hard part isn't the filing — it's keeping operations and compliance honest about the same network. This puts both on one number.

02

The same data on both sides of the wall.

Most plans run network-adequacy in compliance and run dashboards in operations — and the two systems disagree. We compute county × specialty × disease coverage scoring on every provider data refresh, store it pre-computed, and serve it to both surfaces. The number the CFO sees is the number CMS sees.

03

Care-pathway-weighted thresholds.

A diabetic Medicare patient sees a PCP first (family medicine, internal medicine), then potentially endocrinology, podiatry, ophthalmology, nephrology, and cardiology. The legacy 1:1 disease-to-specialty mapping says 'no endocrinologists in the county = critical gap' when 50 PCPs manage diabetes daily. Our coverage scoring weights specialties by realistic patient share — and the ratios start telling the truth.

  • Each disease maps to a care-pathway with specialty roles and patient-share %
  • Adequate ≤ 10 patients/provider; moderate ≤ 20; critical above
  • Per-specialty benchmarks (cardiologists and family medicine have very different panel capacities)

04

Medicare-aged population denominators.

All-age BRFSS data inflates patient counts by 3–5× because Medicare Advantage only covers 65+. We use CDC PLACES age-adjusted prevalence and Census ACS 65+ population. The ratio you read in the dashboard is the one a 65-year-old will actually feel.

05

HSD-table-ready.

The HSD table CMS expects in HPMS exports directly from the same dataset — not a derived view. Specialty taxonomy, county-of-service mapping, distance computation: all auditable, all reproducible from the upstream provider data.
