Paul R. Garrett Joins ReferWell as Vice President of Health Plan Sales
New role helps payers identify quality and risk adjustment solutions
STAMFORD, Conn., June 3, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ReferWell, a fast-growing health technology company providing quality and risk adjustment solutions for payers, today announced that industry veteran Paul R. Garrett has joined the company in a new role focused on helping Medicare Advantage, Dual-Eligible and ACA plans find solutions that drive CMS reimbursements by improving member experience, raising Star ratings and enhancing risk adjustment practices.
As Vice President of Health Plan Sales, Paul will accelerate the company's client acquisition across new payer and value-based care prospects, nationally.
"Recent changes in how CMS awards Star ratings make it critical for plans to focus on solutions that raise their scores in operational categories like CAHPS and HEDIS," said Garrett. "Getting members to their annual wellness visits and care gap appointments, improving access to care, reducing wait time to receiving care and enhancing care coordination have never been more important."
Paul brings to the ReferWell team more than 27 years of health care industry experience with a focus on health plans and health technology. As a leader in sales, marketing and operations, he has delivered quality, performance-based programs and consultative guidance to key national accounts.
"ReferWell's expertise in driving care transitions and helping provider networks run efficiently makes it effortless for health plans to book more member appointments, increase member compliance with scheduled visits by 60% or more, close the referral loop twice as often and stop chart chasing," said Vytas Kisielius, ReferWell CEO. "Members benefit from a better experience and outcomes, while plans benefit from greater CMS reimbursement—incentives that could result in tens of millions of dollars per year."
