The Coordination Problem at System Scale
Readmission Penalties
CMS penalizes hospitals for excess readmissions. The #1 driver? Poor transition-of-care coordination. Patients leave the hospital without clear follow-up plans, miss appointments, and end up back in the ER.
Patient Satisfaction
HCAHPS scores directly impact reimbursement. Patients who feel coordinated and cared for rate their experience higher. Patients who fall through the cracks between departments don't come back — or they come back through the ER.
Revenue Left on the Table
Your system has thousands of patients eligible for Medicare CCM, PCM, and BHI billing. Without infrastructure to deliver and document coordination services, that revenue goes uncaptured.
What ElderberryMD Brings to Your System
Transition of Care
We coordinate the post-discharge journey. Follow-up appointments get scheduled. Medications get filled. Home health gets arranged. Primary care gets notified. We don't let patients fall through the cracks.
Chronic Care Coordination
For your highest-utilization patients, we provide ongoing concierge-level coordination across all their providers within and outside your system. We make the calls, handle logistics, and keep everyone aligned.
Patient Navigation
Large health systems are hard to navigate. We guide patients to the right department, the right specialist, the right program. We book their appointments and prep them for every visit.
Medicare Revenue Capture
We provide the coordination services and documentation needed to bill CCM ($62-93/patient/month), PCM ($83-115), and BHI ($120-175). At scale, this is significant new revenue.
Referral Loop Closure
Internal and external referrals that go unscheduled are lost revenue and worse outcomes. We track every referral, schedule the appointment, and close the loop.
Patient Retention
Patients who feel coordinated and cared for stay in your system. They don't seek care elsewhere. They refer friends and family. Concierge coordination builds loyalty.

Implementation Path
Discovery
We analyze your patient population, identify high-impact cohorts, and map integration requirements with your EHR and existing programs.
Pilot
Start with a focused cohort — post-discharge, high-utilization, or CCM-eligible. Prove the model with measurable outcomes in 90 days.
Scale
Expand across departments, service lines, and patient populations. Add referral coordination, chronic care, and Medicare billing.
Optimize
Continuous improvement based on outcomes data. Quarterly business reviews. Expanding to new use cases and populations.
Let's Build a Pilot
We'll work with your team to identify the highest-impact cohort and design a 90-day pilot with clear success metrics.
