Which risk adjustment model should be the focus of our initiatives? Reduced claim costs may be final lever to pull (or negative margin) Example Health Plan Strategies Care Coordination Waste Reduction Align Incentives With Rewards Strategic Alliances Shared Savings Models Partial or Full Capitation High Performance Networks
