ECG was named the number one firm for value-based care consulting services in the 2025 Best in KLAS report. This ranking is based on anonymous feedback collected by KLAS from thousands of healthcare professionals in the US. This category recognizes the top-performing firms that partner with clients to achieve the desired results related to value-based care engagements—specifically, improving quality, access, and patient experience through alternative care and payment models.

ECG is no stranger to value-based care (and its predecessor labels/models), as “managed care” and ECG were both born on the West Coast in the 1970s. ECG has been a market leader for decades in designing innovative risk- and value-based care/reimbursement models that effectively align the interests of providers and payers to the benefit of the patients. We appreciate there is room for improvement in this space, but we are proud of what we have achieved in partnership with health systems as well as provider-sponsored health plans and are optimistic about the future.

Sincerely,
