Community health centers (CHCs) are often doing more than they're getting credit for: caring for the full complexity of their patients and coordinating care across medical, behavioral health, specialty care and health-related social needs. Value-based care is designed to recognize and reward that work, but it can only do that when health centers have the contracts, support, and documentation in place.
Since partnering with Yuvo Health, Aizer has shown what's possible when a health center has all three.
Aizer has grown from one payor contract to three, a change that has increased its revenue opportunity by 98% as more of its patients become attributed to value-based care. Hands-on support from the Yuvo Health team has helped drive both performance and risk adjustment, contributing to an 8% increase in risk score and a $133.54 increase in Fidelis premium per member, per month.
The result is greater success in value-based care for Aizer and gains that build on one another.
More contracts equal more revenue opportunity
Aizer began its Yuvo Health partnership with one value-based payor contract: Fidelis. By 2026, that had grown to three arrangements, with the addition of Molina and United. With that growth, a larger share of Aizer's existing patient population is part of value-based care and more of Aizer's day-to-day work is positioned to be recognized and rewarded.
As Aizer participated in more VBC contracts from 2024 to 2026, the health center’s attributed patient population increased by 31%. At the same time, revenue opportunity nearly doubled — up 98%.
Moving from one VBC contract to three could seem impossible for health centers with limited administrative resources to shoulder the burden of tracking varying sets of metrics and conditions. But, Yuvo Health negotiates and manages CHC partners’ contracts within one unified set of performance metrics, so growing to three contracts hasn’t meant three times the work for Aizer. The health center can focus on one set of measures rather than juggling separate requirements for every health plan.
By hitting metrics within the unified set of measures that include quality improvement, care management and provider engagement, among others, Aizer earned 92% of available revenue opportunities in 2025 and is on track to earn 98% in 2026.
That growing share of revenue also arrives on a predictable schedule. Recognizing that health centers can't afford to wait 18 months or more for shared savings reconciliation to see their revenue, Yuvo Health issues funds across monthly payments and quarterly incentives, each one transparent and tied to work Aizer's team has completed.
Performance turns revenue opportunity into reality
Hitting those targets is about more than revenue. It reflects Aizer’s commitment to deliver the highest quality of care, which Yuvo Health is built to support.
Upon partnering with Yuvo, Aizer gained access to a full slate of data and technology resources, including insights into a patient's complete health history pulled from the medical record as well as HIEs, ADT alerts and claims; tools to enable patient engagement; and visibility into real-time care and risk gaps. With help from Yuvo Health's technology and population health teams, Aizer can turn this raw data into action.
In 2026 alone, the Yuvo Health team has conducted manual outreach to more than 906 patients, surfacing 77 potential gap closure opportunities. And a new point-of-care tool, rolled out this year, helps Aizer's providers close care and risk gaps during the visit itself, rather than after the fact.
Hands-on support also drives additional revenue through risk adjustment.
Risk adjustment ensures revenue opportunity matches patient complexity
When a provider can see their patient's comprehensive health history right at the point of care, they can document the full scope of what the patient is managing. Recording that complexity matters for two reasons: the patient gets access to the full range of resources their condition calls for, and the health center is compensated for the actual complexity of the patient they are treating.
Yuvo Health's Risk Adjustment team supports partners by conducting chart reviews to surface conditions that were documented but never billed — revenue the health center earned, but was not yet receiving — alongside coding education and one-on-one provider coaching to help capture that complexity going forward.
"The whole idea is to paint the picture of the exact disease burden of the patient. If the payer doesn't think the patient is as sick, that affects the resources you receive to care for that patient."

At Aizer, Rachel Leifer, CPC, Coding Manager, and Chana Rabinowitz, QI Coordinator and Prevention Team Lead, meet monthly with Yuvo Health Risk Adjustment Specialist Diedra Mallory to walk through coding patterns and identify where providers could use more support.
These risk adjustment efforts have led to an 8% increase in risk score and a $133.54 increase in premium per member, per month in Aizer's 2024-2025 Fidelis contract. Within this contract, Aizer additionally drove a 2.6% decrease in medical expense ratio — a sign that care is becoming more proactive and efficient, not just better documented.
Success reinforcing success
Aizer's story isn't a straight line from one milestone to the next. It's a set of things happening together: more contracts bringing more patients into value-based care, more accurate documentation showing up as both better performance and additional revenue, and a health center team who is getting credit for their consistent delivery of high-quality care to some of the most complex patients.
That's what value-based care is supposed to do: recognize the care health centers are already providing, and the complexity of the patients they're already serving.
