Tallgrass Health Partners helps health plans, providers, and risk-bearing organizations design and run the value-based programs that actually move quality and cost.
Hands-on support across ACO strategy, payment model design, population health, and embedded advisory work.
Track selection, benchmark and financial modeling, governance design, and the operational build needed to run a Medicare or commercial ACO well — not just launch one.
Design and negotiation support for bundled payments, shared savings arrangements, and other APMs, grounded in direct CMS Innovation Center and payer-side experience.
Care management, risk stratification, and dual-eligible program design that connects clinical workflow to the financial model it's meant to support.
Embedded, fractional support for health plans, provider groups, and consulting firms that need senior VBC expertise on a project or subcontract basis.
Isaac Burrows founded Tallgrass Health Partners after more than a decade leading value-based care strategy, ACO operations, and population health initiatives — including senior roles at the CMS Innovation Center (CMMI), VillageMD, Elevance Health, Cigna, and The Lewin Group.
That range — regulator, payer, and provider-side operator — is what Tallgrass brings to every engagement: strategy that's been tested against the realities of running the program, not just designing it.
Whether it's an ACO stand-up, an APM redesign, or fractional support on an existing team, Tallgrass Health Partners is ready to help.
