CURA Health Management Announces Strategic Partnership with CareSet

Systems

Medicare data sets provided by CareSet will enhance CURA’s ability to service a targeted
population.

Jacksonville, FL, March 07, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Healthcare enablement company and operator of several
Medicare Shared Savings Program contracts, CURA Health Management announced today a strategic
partnership with CareSet Systems, a nationally recognized provider of Medicare data sets and analytics.
With this partnership, CURA will be better equipped to address the emerging needs of organizations that
serve a growing Medicare population, specifically Medicare Accountable Care Organizations.

10,000 beneficiaries age into Medicare every day, expanding the annual federal budget for Medicare by
nearly $90 million every day. While unsustainable from a taxpayer and budgeting perspective, providers
are also seeing a reduction in revenue as their patients move from commercial fee schedules to Medicare.
This revenue impact results in an annual margin reduction of more than $12 million every day. Providers
see this as unsustainable and recognize best of a few paths forward is to capture both market share and
participate in risk programs driving the systemic improvements in care delivery.

CareSet has been able to capitalize on access to the national Medicare Fee for Service data set, and
presents the information in an unprecedented fashion that directly addresses the needs of the Medicare
ACO community. Using the largest single cohort of patients available, CareSet, provides a
four-dimensional view of the Medicare claims which identifies near and long-term opportunities for the
provider, payer and ACO communities. In a combined effort, CURA and CareSet have paneled every
Medicare beneficiary to a PCP and calculated the PCPs risk adjusted panel cost, as well as scored other
important performance measures. Knowing the PCPs absolute, peer relative and geographic relative
performance is critical in the face of regional benchmarking and risk requirements in the Medicare Shared
Savings Programs.

“This capability is incredibly important to the Medicare ACOs when comparing individual PCP
performance to the regional benchmark of the PCP's patient base,” points out Mike Barrett, Founding
Partner of CURA Health Solutions. “There are now roughly 80 Medicare ACOs facing downside risk and
regional benchmarking for the first time, and CURA has the ability to calculate opportunities and risks for
each track, as well as provide support to manage their network and MSSP strategies for an optimal
result.”

The data sets from CareSet allow CURA to identify an organizations' specific opportunities and
challenges and provide unique insight into how they compare with their local peer groups and negotiate
more beneficial partnerships with payers and managed care companies. CareSet's concrete analytics
enhance CURA's mission to allow local market provider entrepreneurs to own and operate their own
Value Service Organization in a franchise mode and deliver best in class healthcare to their patients.

“Both data and insights are critical to help ACOs thrive in this new healthcare paradigm,” says Laura
