Network Development · Network Adequacy Services

Building specialty provider networks for Medicare Advantage and Medicaid access.

We do two things, and we do them well. We develop behavioral health provider networks that health plans can access, and we measure network adequacy — county by county, specialty by specialty — so plans know where they stand before they submit.

Two Service Lines

One platform. Two ways we strengthen your network.

We build behavioral health provider networks health plans can access, and we deliver the network adequacy analysis and development support plans need before they submit to CMS or a state Medicaid program.

Service Line 01

Behavioral Health Network Access

We develop and organize behavioral health provider networks that health plans can access through negotiated contractual arrangements — recruited, organized, and credentialing-ready.

Psychiatry & Psychology

Board-eligible and certified clinicians prepared for plan access discussions.

Licensed Therapists & Counselors

LCSWs, LMHCs, and counseling providers with telehealth and in-person availability.

Addiction Medicine

MAT-capable providers organized by county and modality.

Tele-Behavioral Health

Multi-state telehealth coverage scaled to underserved counties.

Gap Analysis

ZIP-level access measurement against CMS contract-year or state Medicaid standards.

Provider Recruitment & Contracting

Market providers identified and targeted to close documented gaps.

HSD Table Preparation

Behavioral Health Network Access

Behavioral Health Provider Networks Built for Health Plan Access

We focus on developing organized behavioral health provider networks that health plans may access through negotiated network arrangements, subject to provider participation and applicable contractual and regulatory requirements — a Network-as-a-Service model that can include network leasing as a potential contractual arrangement.

Step 01
Recruit

Identify and engage qualified behavioral health professionals in targeted geographic markets.

Step 02
Organize

Maintain provider demographic information, specialties, service locations, participation information, and network records.

Step 03
Validate

Review network composition, provider information, contractual participation, and potential geographic access opportunities.

Step 04
Partner

Work with interested health plans to evaluate appropriate network access arrangements.

Network Adequacy Services

Network Adequacy Intelligence That Supports Better Decisions

We help Medicare Advantage and Medicaid health plans analyze provider network access, identify deficiencies, evaluate potential contracting targets, and develop strategies to strengthen network readiness.

Step 01
Analyze

Evaluate provider network data and applicable geographic access standards.

Step 02
Identify Gaps

Determine which specialties, counties, and populations may have access deficiencies.

Step 03
Prioritize

Identify potential provider additions and contracting opportunities.

Step 04
Support

Provide reporting, recommendations, data validation, and agreed network development assistance.

What you receive

  • Specialty-level network adequacy reports
  • Geographic access maps
  • Gap analysis summaries
  • Provider recruitment target lists
  • Contracting scenario analysis
  • Market expansion assessments
  • HSD preparation and validation support
  • Medicaid state-specific adequacy analysis

Medicare Advantage and Medicaid are not the same. Medicare Advantage analysis reflects applicable CMS MA network adequacy requirements, including contract-year HSD standards. Medicaid analysis recognizes federal requirements and the applicable state's standards — MA HSD tables are not universal Medicaid reporting requirements.

Network Analysis Example

See your network the way a reviewer would.

Every engagement starts with a county-level read of your network: which specialties meet access standards, which are thin, and which have no coverage at all. This is the view that drives the plan.

Why Network Adequacy Matters

Access is the new differentiator.

Member experience, Star ratings, and growth all depend on whether members can actually reach a provider. We're built to support that — county by county, specialty by specialty.

National CMS provider supply data supports adequacy analysis and gap identification in any market.

Neutral by design. Compliance-aware by default.

MyQualityCareNetwork is not an insurance company, health plan, medical provider, or claims administrator. We support network participation opportunities, credentialing readiness, provider organization, and plan access discussions. All participation is subject to applicable review, approval, and agreement terms.

Build the network before the gap shows up on a CMS report.

Whether you're a behavioral health provider exploring network participation opportunities or a health plan starting plan access discussions, we'd like to hear from you.
