Boston, MA—February 5, 2025—ECG Management Consultants, a leading national consulting firm that works exclusively with healthcare organizations, has been named the top provider of value-based care consulting services in the 2025 Best in KLAS: Software and Services report. This is the second time in five years that KLAS has recognized ECG as the number one value-based care consulting provider.
Based on feedback from thousands of healthcare professionals, the annual Best in KLAS rankings recognize organizations that are dedicated to helping providers improve patient care. The value-based care consulting category acknowledges firms that help healthcare organizations transition away from fee-for-service payment models.
"It is truly an honor to be acknowledged by our clients for delivering meaningful results with our value-based care services," said Terri Welter, ECG partner and leader of the firm's Payer Strategy and Contracting Division. "While the pace of the industry's shift toward value-based care has been gradual, our clients want to be leading the way, and we're helping them identify new opportunities to provide affordable, accessible, high-quality care for their communities."
ECG's value-based care experts partner with organizations to gauge their readiness to design and adopt risk-based payment models. Drawing on more than five decades of national experience, they understand their clients' needs to maintain financial viability today while navigating evolving reimbursement methodologies.
"We are honored to be recognized by our clients, but I cannot say I am surprised based on our track record of results in this space," said Christopher Collins, ECG's CEO. "We have proudly served as a nexus between providers and payers to develop innovative reimbursement models for decades, and long before it was coined as value-based care. Opportunity for improvement remains, but I am grateful that the market is committed to finding a better balance between quality, patient access, and cost."
