ABOUT US

Independent Providers. Collective Strength. Real Results.

Healthcare professionals collaborating

Value Edge Alliance (VEA) is a strategic healthcare solutions platform—structured as a Value-Based Entity (VBE)—that provides MSO and CIN services to support independent healthcare providers, including chiropractors (DCs), physical therapists (PTs), and primary care physicians (PCPs).

MSO (Management Services Organization) provides backend infrastructure—billing, credentialing, EHR, compliance, marketing—so you focus on patient care. CIN (Clinically Integrated Network) enables legal collaboration on quality metrics and shared patient data, allowing independent providers to negotiate value-based contracts collectively while meeting antitrust safe harbor requirements.

Our mission is to unify independent healthcare providers into one high-performance, data-driven network that actually gets paid for value, not volume. We help you collect more, keep more, and make more — without giving up your independence.

The result: You gain market relevance, negotiating strength, and protection in an evolving healthcare landscape—while maintaining full ownership and independence.

Why Partner With VEA?

Four strategic advantages that transform independent practices into competitive powerhouses.

Access Value-Based Contracts

VEA's Value-Based Entity (VBE) gives you legal collective bargaining power with payers—compliant with OIG/CMS 2020 safe harbors. Negotiate better fees, participate in shared savings, and access care-coordination payments while maintaining full independence.

Zero Net New Cost

VEA's full-service MSO replaces your current EHR and billing spend—not adds to it. Get revenue cycle management, credentialing, MSK-optimized EHR, compliance support, marketing, and CE education in one integrated system. Better tools, cleaner claims, faster collections.

Data-Driven Clinical Integration

Every VEA clinic uses the same MSK-optimized EHR, enabling network-wide outcomes measurement. This solves a critical problem: independent providers can't access value-based contracts without proven data. VEA's CIN provides unified reporting, shared pathways, referral networks, and negotiating power backed by results.

Structured Implementation

VEA's 4-phase process (Discover, Align, Onboard & Train, Optimize & Integrate) ensures smooth transitions without disruption. We diagnose your operations, create a customized roadmap, and standardize workflows under one framework. Hands-on staff training with live support ensures confident adoption. Your existing staff stays—we augment, not replace.
