Reston, VA – May 7th, 2026 – As the Maryland Primary Care Program (MDPCP) prepares for its evolution into the Achieving Healthcare Efficiency through Accountable Design (AHEAD) Model, Netrin Health is proud to announce a new, specialized suite of services designed to bridge the gap for primary care practices.
Beginning in 2027, program requirements will expand to include the mandatory management of Medicaid lives alongside existing Medicare populations. Recognizing the administrative complexity this shift introduces, Netrin Health has developed an à la carte service model to provide clinical and administrative support specifically tailored to Medicaid requirements.
Empowering Practices Amid Regulatory Shifts
While many Care Transformation Organizations (CTOs) remain focused exclusively on Medicare, Netrin Health is distinguishing itself by offering a comprehensive solution for the Medicaid population. This initiative ensures that practices can maintain performance incentives and meet new state mandates without increasing the operational burden on their internal staff.
“The transition to the AHEAD model represents a significant milestone for Maryland healthcare,” says Arumani Manisundaram, CEO of Netrin Health. “Our goal is to act as a seamless extension of the practice, providing the tools and data reconciliation necessary to turn these new requirements into opportunities for better patient outcomes and financial stability.”
Key Medicaid-Specific Offerings
Netrin Health’s new service line allows practices to select support modules that fit their specific workflows, including:
- Panel Reconciliation: Consolidating data from CRISP and various MCOs into a single “Source of Truth” to ensure accurate payments.
- Quality Reporting & eCQMs: Handling end-to-end data aggregation and submission for Medicaid electronic Clinical Quality Measures.
- Transitional Care Management (TCM): Managing post-discharge follow-ups to reduce readmissions and capture TCM revenue.
- High-Risk Care Coordination: Dedicated support for the most vulnerable Medicaid patients to improve health equity and satisfaction.
- Automated Patient Engagement: Utilizing SMS campaigns and automated reminders to close care gaps efficiently.
Preparing for 2027
By offering these services on an à la carte basis, Netrin Health provides Maryland providers the flexibility to scale their participation in the AHEAD model at their own pace. This proactive approach aims to safeguard practice revenue and clinical focus well ahead of the 2027 deadline.
