HEDIS Gap Closure for Health Plans

The last 10,000 members on your gap list aren’t going to come in.

So We Go To Them.

Principle Health Systems calls your outstanding members with care gaps, schedules them, and brings phlebotomy, laboratory testing, and diagnostic screening into their homes – at no cost to the patient – so the gaps your outreach couldn’t close still close before December 31.

    Who We Work With

    Medicare Advantage plans and MA-PD contracts. Medicaid managed care organizations. D-SNPs and I-SNPs. Commercial plans with NCQA accreditation requirements.

    What Your Patients Pay

    No cost to the patient. No copay, no transportation, no time off work, no appointment to drive to.

    You Already Know Which Members Have Open Gaps.

    Getting to them is the problem.

    Your quality team has the list. It’s been risk-stratified, prioritized, and worked. Mailers went out. IVR ran. Care management called, twice.

    And a stubborn share still hasn’t moved, because the barrier was never awareness. It’s the member who can’t drive. The member in a skilled nursing facility whose family never scheduled the follow-up. The member two hours from the nearest draw station. Or the member who is simply done with appointments.

    Those members can have an outsized impact. Medicare Advantage quality bonuses turn on unforgiving thresholds. For 2026, roughly 175 MA contracts, about one-third of all contracts, landed at exactly 3.5 stars (CMS 2026 Star Ratings Fact Sheet). One tier below the bonus. In many cases, the difference comes down to a handful of measures and a few thousand members who never completed a blood draw.

    The last mile of gap closure isn’t an outreach problem. It’s a logistics problem.

    That’s the part we solve.

    HEDIS Gap Closure for Critical Diagnostics

    Send Us the List. We Handle the Rest.

    1. Outreach

    We call the members on your list — and we keep calling. Second attempts, third attempts, evenings, weekends, and the conversations with adult children and facility staff that actually get an appointment on the calendar. Your outreach already ran; what’s left is the population it didn’t reach. Persistence is the service.

    2. Mobile Diagnostics

    Our own phlebotomists and clinical staff go to the patient — at home, in a skilled nursing facility, in assisted living, or in a community setting. Blood draws, urine collections, blood pressure readings, FIT kits, and imaging, performed on site and processed in our own laboratories. At no cost to the patient. No transportation to arrange, no waiting room, no cost share to explain.

    3. Patient Support

    Someone walks the member through what’s happening and why, before the visit and during it. Results get where they need to go. Questions get answered. Members who’ve spent years avoiding the system get a reason to stop avoiding it — which is worth something next measurement year, and worth something to your CAHPS scores too.

    What we close, and what it takes to close it

    Not every gap can be closed in a living room, and any vendor who tells you otherwise hasn’t read the specifications. Here’s exactly what we do and exactly what the measure requires.

    Measure
    What PHS Performs
    What the measure requires
    CBP Controlling High Blood Pressure
    In-home blood pressure using validated automated devices, by trained clinical staff.
    Most recent reading in the measurement year below 140/90, with distinct systolic and diastolic values and a date. Not in an inpatient or ED setting.
    KED Kidney Health Evaluation for Patients With Diabetes
    Mobile blood draw plus urine collection, processed in our own labs.
    Serum eGFR and a quantitative uACR, both within the measurement year.Semi-quantitative dipstick results do not qualify.
    GSD Glycemic Status Assessment for Patients With Diabetes
    Mobile blood draw, HbA1c processed in our own labs
    Ages 18 to 75. An HbA1c or GMI result in the measurement year – and the most recent result must be at a controlled level. The Star measure credits results at or below 9.0%. A test alone doesn’t close it; the number has to land.
    COL-E Colorectal Cancer Screening
    FIT kit delivered, instructed, and collected in the home; processed in our own labs
    Ages 45 to 75. FIT or gFOBT annually, or a qualifying alternative modality.
    CCS-E Cervical Cancer Screening
    Clinician-collected cytology and hrHPV, plus clinician-supervised self-collection, processed in our own labs
    Ages 21 to 64. Cytology every 3 years, or hrHPV / co-testing every 5 years for ages 30 to 64.
    EED Eye Exam for Patients With Diabetes
    Ask us. Retinal imaging can be coordinated in select markets.
    A retinal or dilated eye exam by an eye care professional in the measurement year, or a negative exam in the year prior.
    OMW Osteoporosis Management in Women Who Had a Fracture
    Mobile bone mineral density scanning, delivered at the bedside – home, skilled nursing, or assisted living
    Women 67 to 85 who had a fracture. A BMD test or osteoporosis therapy within 180 days of the fracture. The clock is per patient, not per calendar year.
    BCS-E Breast Cancer Screening
    Mobile mammography, delivered as a scheduled screening event at facility and community sites
    Ages 40 to 74. A mammogram any time from October 1 two years prior through the end of the measurement year – a 27-month window. Screening, diagnostic, and 3D tomosynthesis all count; MRI and ultrasound do not.
