Partnering to help pediatric practices thrive — for the sake of every child.
Pediatric practices face a changing healthcare landscape, with Medi-Cal and Medicaid programs now demanding value-based care outcomes, coordination, and key quality measures.
Heritage Health Network (HHN) partners with your team to support high-need patients, connect families with resources, and help your practice meet its goals—so every child can thrive.
The New Reality for California Pediatric Care
Medi-Cal’s initiative is transforming how care is measured and reimbursed. Pediatric practices now must:
- Coordinate across physical, behavioral, and social needs
- Engage patients who are hard to reach or have multiple conditions
- Document measurable outcomes for value-based payment programs
These new requirements place additional time and operational demand on pediatric practices.
The Cost of Meeting Standards Alone
Here is a brief overview of the additional costs that could be required for a practice to be able to meet the evolving demands of Medi-cal value-based performance standards.
| Role | Cost if Internal | HHN Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Behavioral Health Case Manager | $87,098 | $0 |
| Social Worker | $69,931 | $0 |
| Case Manager | $67,426 | $0 |
| RN (Supervisor) | $128,131 | $0 |
| Total | $352,586 | $0 |
Meeting these standards internally often requires new staff, workflows, and technology — adding administrative and operational challenges. Adjusting your practice to meet new requirements can be expensive.
