QUEST ENTERPRISE SERVICES
Smarter management for today’s provider networks.
Quest Analytics offers the first and only network
management platform designed to measure variances in
adequacy and accuracy together—simultaneously—at the
network and directory levels, where you get audited.
Measure Adequacy
Quest Enterprise Services measures network adequacy exactly the way
regulators do—because CMS and many states use our tools in their audits, it
finds the same gaps they would find.
Measure Accuracy
Directory accuracy is measured by leveraging our National Database of
primary-sourced, continuously updated provider data, along with other
industry-known sources of truth. Letting you know what’s right, wrong and
missing from your provider data allows you to focus resources and prioritize
efforts on remediating the inaccuracies with the most impact.
Manage & Monitor Together
And when you can measure these key performance indicators, you can
finally manage them, efficiently, using powerful new tools to close adequacy
gaps and correct provider directory accuracy issues. You can monitor
performance over time to guide your management efforts.
The result is not just compliant networks, accurate directories and better
member experiences; it’s a stronger, smarter and more competitive
organization overall.
ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS ACROSS THE ENTERPRISE
Enterprise-wide management means more than connecting
silos and streamlining the workflow.
It means giving everyone in your organization, regardless of
product line or job function, access to the tools and insights
they need to work more intelligently and more proactively.
And it means for the first time being able to ask—and
answer—fundamental questions that will transform the way
you work.
This is your network under new management. This is Quest Enterprise Services.
ADEQUACY + ACCURACY IN ONE PLATFORM
We measure adequacy and accuracy the
way regulators do – because the Centers
for Medicare & Medicaid Services use
our tools too. We use the same standards
and specialties to measure compliance
as CMS and we update them annually in
accordance with their release.
“Inaccurate provider directories … bring into question the adequacy and validity of the Medicare Advantage Organization’s provider network.”
