Payor Services & Risk-Based Care

The WCAS Perspective on Payor Services & Risk-Based Care

Growth in payor services is driven by pervasive healthcare trends such as an aging population, rising chronic conditions and a shift to lower-acuity care settings. These macro trends have increased demand for companies that help payors and providers succeed under value-based contracts and capitated payment models. To address this demand, WCAS partners with companies that enhance care quality, expand access and reduce healthcare costs.

Trends We're Excited To Invest Behind

1
Growth of risk-bearing providers serving Medicare Advantage, Managed Medicaid, and other patient populations to better manage the delivery of both specialist and primary care
2
The shift of care from the inpatient and outpatient settings into the home, as well as the infrastructure and capabilities that enable this shift.
3
Demand for better coordination, management, administration and delivery of specialty and supplemental benefits for various patient populations
4
Emerging demand among payors and providers for vendors who are equipped to help them succeed under value-based care contracting structures
