The Challenge Health Plans Face

Health insurance plans operate in an increasingly complex regulatory and reimbursement environment. Inaccurate risk adjustment coding, underperforming HEDIS measures, and missed quality benchmarks translate directly into lost revenue and reduced star ratings — outcomes no plan can afford.

Optimize reimbursement accuracy

Ensure your risk scores reflect the true clinical complexity of your membership.

Our Services

Risk Adjustment Consulting

Wedemeyer Consulting LLC provides expert guidance on CMS-HCC, HHS-HCC, and CDPS risk adjustment models. We help health plans identify documentation gaps, improve coding accuracy, and ensure compliant, complete risk score submissions that reflect the true clinical burden of your population.

HEDIS Measure Improvement

We partner with health plans to analyze HEDIS performance data, identify care gaps, and implement targeted interventions. Our strategies are grounded in clinical evidence and designed to produce sustainable, auditable improvements across key quality measures.

Healthcare Quality Program Development

From program design to execution, we help plans build robust quality improvement infrastructures. This includes developing workflows, training clinical staff, and establishing performance monitoring systems aligned with NCQA and CMS standards.

Star Ratings Strategy

Medicare Advantage Star Ratings directly impact plan revenue and member retention. We provide strategic consulting to help plans understand their current performance, prioritize high-impact measures, and implement evidence-based interventions to improve their overall Star Rating.

Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI)

Accurate clinical documentation is the foundation of compliant risk adjustment. We work with plan partners and provider networks to improve documentation practices, ensuring that member diagnoses are captured completely, accurately, and in accordance with CMS guidelines.

Regulatory Compliance & Audit Support

Navigating CMS Risk Adjustment Data Validation (RADV) audits and other regulatory reviews requires specialized expertise. Wedemeyer Consulting LLC provides audit preparation, response support, and ongoing compliance monitoring to protect your plan from financial and regulatory risk.

How It Works

Reimbursement Accuracy Focus

We help plans capture every compliant dollar they are entitled to — no more, no less.

Personalized, Hands-On Engagement

As a boutique consulting firm, we provide direct, senior-level attention to every client engagement — no hand-offs to junior staff.

Santa Clarita, CA Based

Locally rooted, nationally capable — serving health plans across California and beyond.

Industry Advantage & Value

Risk adjustment and quality improvement are among the highest-ROI investments a health plan can make. For Medicare Advantage plans, a single Star Rating improvement can translate into hundreds of millions of dollars in Quality Bonus Payments (QBPs) — and improved risk score accuracy directly impacts per-member-per-month (PMPM) revenue.

For ACA Marketplace plans, accurate HHS-HCC risk scores ensure that reimbursement reflects the true cost of your membership, protecting plan financial stability in a competitive market.

Wedemeyer Consulting LLC helps plans capture these opportunities compliantly and sustainably. We recommend that clients confirm current CMS payment parameters and program specifics with their compliance and actuarial teams, as rates and methodologies are updated annually.

ACA Marketplace Health Plans

Medicaid Managed Care Organizations

Frequently Asked Questions

What is risk adjustment consulting, and why does my health plan need it?

Risk adjustment is the process by which CMS and state regulators account for the health status of a plan's membership when calculating payments. Accurate risk adjustment ensures your plan is reimbursed fairly for the clinical complexity of your members. Wedemeyer Consulting LLC helps plans identify documentation gaps, improve coding accuracy, and submit compliant risk data — protecting revenue and ensuring regulatory compliance.

How does Wedemeyer Consulting LLC improve HEDIS scores?

We begin with a detailed analysis of your current HEDIS performance data to identify your lowest-performing measures and the root causes of underperformance. We then design and support targeted interventions — including care gap closure programs, provider outreach strategies, and member engagement initiatives — to drive sustainable, auditable improvements.

Is Wedemeyer Consulting LLC able to support plans outside of California?

Yes. While we are based in Santa Clarita, CA, we provide consulting services to health plans nationally. Our work is primarily analytical and advisory in nature, making remote engagement highly effective for most clients.

What is a RADV audit, and how can you help?

A Risk Adjustment Data Validation (RADV) audit is a CMS review process that validates the accuracy of a Medicare Advantage plan's risk adjustment data submissions. An adverse RADV finding can result in significant payment recoveries. Wedemeyer Consulting LLC provides pre-audit preparation, documentation review, and response support to help plans navigate RADV audits successfully.
