McKesson and HealthQX will join forces to help payers design bundled payment models and provide them with timely and accurate payments.
In the new agreement, payers will first use HealthQX's ClarityQx for claims analysis and then use McKesson's Episode Management and other McKesson value-based reimbursement solutions. The vendors will jointly market their solutions and coordinate consulting and service offerings.
"Interest in bundled payment as a fast path to [value-based reimbursement] has never been greater, and payers and providers alike need help getting started and scaling up," said Carolyn Wukitch, senior vice president of McKesson Health Solutions.
