Dependable Ongoing Support
Mansfield’s fractional executive approach gives clinicians access to experienced leadership in a way that is far more practical than hiring a full-time executive. It allows clinicians to benefit from high-level executive judgment, guidance, and follow-through across complex operational and strategic issues, without taking on the expense of a full-time senior role. The embedded practice support model is designed to be practical, inclusive, and dependable—one relationship, one low monthly fee.
The aim is to help practitioners navigate the payment reform initiatives that most often strain their time and detract from patient care. This includes data analytics, contract negotiations and issues, operational bottlenecks, and shifting quality priorities.
Embedded Practice Support $1,000 to $4,500 monthly
For those that want a trusted executive to stay close to the work, help think through issues as they arise, advocate for your practice, and step in across multiple areas, without turning every thread into a separate project. Depending on the level of support a practice needs, embedded practice support includes:
Embedded executive leadership across critical payment reform areas like data analytics, contracting, finance, and operations
Thorough onboarding review of contracts and program requirements with organizational assessment and preparation of a multi-year plan
Support negotiating payer/ACO contracts and reimbursement
Direct involvement with key stakeholders like CMS/CMMI, AHS/DVHA, ACOs, and commercial payers when strategy, funding, operations, or participation decisions are on the table
Ongoing email, cell phone, and in-person access for timely guidance and collaboration as issues arise
Access to a broad bench of expertise—clients benefit from Mansfield’s statewide network of industry experts
Project Engagement Starting at $3,000
For most practices, the partnership model will offer broader support and better overall value. But when a single project is the right starting point, Mansfield can step in quickly and help move the work forward. Because many challenges in primary care quickly overlap across contracting, operations, finance, and rapidly evolving initiatives, project pricing reflects the value of experienced support and the time required to do the work well. Here are some sample project engagements:
Data analytics and performance support
Payer contract and reimbursement assessment
Value-based payment model readiness review
Practice operations and performance review
Leadership support for a defined scope of work
