Population health & analytics · Quality, risk & value-based care
Cozeva
Cozeva is a value-based care platform that combines quality measurement, risk adjustment, and population health analytics for health plans and provider organizations. It is care-gap and risk software, not OR capacity math.
Strong fit
- Health plans and medical groups that need HEDIS, Star ratings, and risk adjustment work in one view that clinicians use
- Organizations that want to close care gaps and get risk adjustment right without separate quality and risk systems
- Teams that want quality and risk tools at the point of care, not a large data warehouse project
Weak fit
- Health systems that only want to fill operating room time
- Buyers with no quality or risk adjustment staff to act on the lists
- Organizations that will not connect claims and EHR data
Bottom line
Cozeva is worth using for health plans and provider groups that work in value-based care and need quality measurement and risk adjustment in one place. It suits teams whose care staff will close the gaps the dashboards show. Community health centers may find a closer fit in Azara.
Score breakdown
Weights: Outcomes 35% · Product 30% · Implementation 20% · Pricing clarity 15%.
Cozeva is a value-based care platform built by Applied Research Works and led by CEO Khanh Gia Nguyen. The company has a few hundred employees.
It combines quality measurement, risk adjustment, and population health analytics in one view, so clinicians and plan staff work from the same information. It is software for care gaps and risk, not for operating room capacity.
The dashboards only help when care teams close the gaps they show. Commercial terms are typical of enterprise software and are not published.
Among population health tools we review, Cozeva scores just below Azara. It fits health plans and independent physician associations doing quality and risk work better than tools built only for safety-net clinics.
Azara suits community health centers, and Certilytics suits plans that mainly need to predict risk. Lightbeam suits buyers whose main need is work lists for care management.

Pricing
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Model | Software for quality, risk adjustment, and population health, with prices quoted in health plan and medical group contracts. |
| What usually drives cost | The number of people covered, which modules you use (quality, risk, care gaps), data connections, and the support level. |
| What to ask before you buy | The yearly contract cost for your members or assigned patients, including setup and ongoing help with quality and risk work. |
| Published pricing | Cozeva does not publish prices. Every customer gets a quote. |
Prerequisites for purchase
| Need | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What you need to get Cozeva to function | |
| Named quality and risk leads | Dashboards go unused without an owner. |
| A plan for which claims and EHR data you will send | Without data, it cannot find gaps. |
| Current Star, HEDIS, and risk numbers | You cannot show improvement without a starting point. |
| A finished privacy review and business associate agreement | Health plan analytics stall in security review. |
| Staff time to follow up on care gaps | Lists that no one acts on waste the license. |
| What will maximize your value | |
| Start with one plan product or one physician association | Launching everywhere on day one multiplies the noise. |
| Measure how many gaps close by 90 days | This shows whether quality and risk scores improved. |
| Stop using quality tools that overlap | Duplicate lists confuse staff. |
| Deal-breakers | |
| You only need to plan operating room capacity | |
| You cannot share claims or EHR data | |
| No one is available to own quality or risk | |
