Smaller agency?

Ask about a custom Starter plan

For agencies with about 10–20 employees who need help with one function but not a full Core Ops scope. We size a lighter monthly plan below Core Ops after a short review. Starter plans cover one function at starter volume; cleanup and backlogs are quoted separately.

Request a Starter quote

* Billing & claims pricing is set after a short analysis with your agency. Claim volume, payer mix, service lines, and current denial rates all affect the work, so we quote it to fit your agency instead of charging a flat fee.

† Payroll includes a separate per-employee fee charged by our payroll processor.

‡ Affectiv is an independent partner platform. Intrinsic clients get a steep discount on Affectiv licensing; it is not included free.

How Core Ops is sized

Priced by workload, not by headcount of functions

The $3,500 base includes 2 scope credits at starter volume. Heavier functions use more credits, and each band above starter volume adds 1 credit. Each extra credit is quoted from about $1,250/mo. Above 4 credits, we move you to Full Back Office pricing.

Payroll oversight†Up to 25 employees, bi-weekly1Additional 25 employees

Employee Compliance & PerformanceUp to 25 employees1Additional 25 employees
Billing & claims*1 program, up to 300 claims/mo2Additional program or 300 claims/mo
Representative payeeUp to 10 participants2Additional 10 participants

Example: payroll for 20 employees (1) + credentialing for 20 staff (1) = 2 credits, base price. Billing for 2 programs (3) + payee for 15 participants (3) = 6 credits, Full Back Office. Volumes are confirmed during your free review and rechecked at renewal.

How Full Back Office and Enterprise are sized

Each package covers the volume below. Each band above it is quoted from about $750/mo (Full Back Office) or $1,000/mo (Enterprise). Volumes are confirmed during your free review and rechecked at renewal, never changed mid-term without talking with you first.

Why we set an hours range. Our systems, tools, and HCBS experience let a small team do a lot. Each package is built around a typical amount of monthly team time across every function combined. We share time in your monthly review. If work consistently runs above the range — often from backlogs, frequent rework, or new programs — we’ll walk through the causes with you and agree on process fixes, a volume-band change, or a scoped add-on. Nothing extra is billed without your written approval.

Not included in any package: tax preparation, financial audits, legal advice, formal claim appeals and fair hearings, full policy rewrites, and after-hours or emergency coverage. These can be quoted as add-ons or stay with your existing advisors.

Onboarding assessment & cleanup

Monthly pricing covers current work, not past backlogs

Every package starts with a paid onboarding assessment (from $1,500, credited toward implementation if you sign within 30 days). We review your billing, documentation, books, staff files, and any open corrective actions. If we find backlog, it is quoted as a separate one-time cleanup project before monthly service begins — so you know the full cost up front, and your monthly fee stays fair for the ongoing work.

Billing backlog
Unbilled, rejected, or aged claims older than 30 days at start
Bookkeeping catch-up
Unreconciled months or missing month-end close
Documentation remediation
Participant charts that need to be brought to standard
Staff file cleanup
Missing credentials, trainings, or background checks
Open corrective actions
Active corrective action plans or survey findings
Unusual workload
Sustained volume well above scope, such as high turnover or survey response — agreed in writing first

Why: cleanup is often heavier than a normal month and is a one-time effort. Pricing it separately keeps your monthly fee lower and keeps us staffed to do the cleanup well instead of folding months of history into an ordinary engagement.

Pricing questions

Do you provide HR services?

Not as a full HR department. We provide Employee Compliance & Performance: HR support for your operational team, including credential and training tracking, onboarding checklists, policy acknowledgments, and performance review systems. Hiring decisions, benefits administration, employee relations, and legal employment matters stay with your agency's leadership.

Do we have to let our current staff go?

No. Our model is built around keeping your people. Intrinsic takes on the workload that is stretching them thin, gives them systems and backup, and reduces the need for additional administrative hires as you grow. Your existing staff can spend more time on participants, supervision, and quality.

Will an outside team understand our agency?

We are Idaho HCBS operators, not a generic outsourcing firm. Onboarding starts with learning your programs, participants, and workflows, and you work with a named Intrinsic contact who knows your agency.

Will we lose control?

No. Your agency stays the licensed provider and makes every hiring, care, and spending decision. You approve payments, policies, and submissions; we do the work and keep you informed with regular reporting.

Are you taking responsibility or just advising?

Both, clearly divided. For functions in your package, Intrinsic performs the work and is accountable for doing it accurately and on time. Advisory items, like policy guidance and leadership meetings, are labeled as advice. Your agreement lists which is which for every function.

How is billing priced?

Billing & claims is quoted after a short analysis with your agency, because claim volume, payer mix, service lines, and denial history vary widely. Payroll also carries a separate fee from our payroll processor, and Affectiv licensing is billed at a steep partner discount rather than included free.

Which package is right for us?

Core Ops fits agencies that need one heavy function or two light functions covered at starter volume. Once your selections need more than 4 scope credits, Full Back Office is usually the better value. Enterprise fits multi-site or multi-program organizations that also need embedded leadership.

Why are Core Ops functions weighted differently?

Because the work is not equal. Payroll oversight for 20 employees is light; full billing and denial management across several programs, or payee work with daily transactions and monthly reconciliations, is far heavier. Scope credits keep pricing fair: you pay for the workload you actually hand us, and we only commit to volume we can staff well.

How many claims or employees are included?

Each package is scoped to your agency size at the time of your quote — a set range of monthly claims and active employees written into your agreement. If you grow past that range, we review the scope with you before any price change. We do not bill per claim or per employee inside your agreed range, but payroll processor fees are separate.

How frequently are charts reviewed?

QA uses a sampling approach, not a review of every chart. Core Ops includes a quarterly compliance and audit-readiness check. Full Back Office includes a monthly sample review of participant documentation, with findings and corrective steps sent to your team. Complete chart audits are available as a project add-on.

Who handles denied claims?

When billing is in scope, we identify, correct, and resubmit denials caused by billing or coding errors, and we track denial trends. Denials caused by missing or insufficient clinical documentation, expired authorizations, or eligibility issues are returned to your agency to fix the source record; we then resubmit. Formal appeals and fair hearings are not included unless quoted separately.

Does bookkeeping include AP, AR, reconciliations, and monthly close?

In Full Back Office and Enterprise, yes: transaction categorization, AP entry and scheduling, AR tracking, monthly bank and credit-card reconciliations, and a monthly close with standard financial statements. Your agency approves and releases all payments. Tax preparation, audits, and CPA-level attestation are not included and stay with your CPA.

How many CFO/COO hours or meetings are included?

Full Back Office includes one scheduled leadership meeting per month (up to 2 hours) plus email access between meetings. Enterprise includes one scheduled meeting per week. Additional strategic projects, board presentations, or on-site time are scoped and quoted separately.

Is there a limit on how many hours Intrinsic spends each month?

Yes. Our systems, tools, and experience make us efficient, so each package is built around a typical monthly service-hour range: Full Back Office is designed for about 50–65 combined team hours per month, and Enterprise for about 75–100. We track time internally and share it in your monthly review. If your agency consistently runs above that range for two months in a row, we will show you where the time is going and agree together on a fix — process changes on your side, a volume-band adjustment, or a scoped add-on. We never bill extra hours without your written approval.

Are policy rewrites included or only advice?

Packages include advice, review, and redlines on existing policies, plus support during incident reviews. Full policy and procedure rewrites are a flat-quoted project add-on. Your agency adopts and owns all final policies.

What are the response times?

We respond to routine requests within 2 business days. Time-sensitive items such as payroll issues, survey notices, or claim holds are acknowledged within 1 business day. Enterprise clients receive priority response. Support hours are Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm Mountain Time, excluding holidays. Intrinsic is not an emergency or after-hours line.

Who owns each function when something goes wrong?

Your agency remains the licensed Medicaid provider and keeps final responsibility for participant care, clinical documentation, hiring, and compliance decisions. Intrinsic is responsible for performing the tasks in your agreement accurately and on time. When something goes wrong, we document the cause, fix errors that are ours, and work with your named contact on anything that needs an agency decision.

Is there an implementation or cleanup fee?

Yes, both are separate from your monthly fee. Every package begins with a paid onboarding assessment, then a one-time implementation fee for setup and access. Any backlog we find — unbilled or aged claims, unreconciled books, chart deficiencies, missing staff credentials, or open corrective actions — is quoted as a separate cleanup project before monthly service begins.

Why is cleanup priced separately?

Because catching up on months of history is different work than running a normal month, and it varies widely between agencies. Bundling it into a flat monthly price would mean either overcharging agencies in good shape or under-serving the ones that need the most help. A separate, up-front quote keeps it fair and transparent for both of us.

What if our workload changes after we start?

If volume or complexity runs well above your agreed scope for more than a month — for example high staff turnover, a new program, or a survey response — we will show you the numbers and agree on a band change or temporary workload adjustment in writing before anything is billed.

We are a small agency. Is there something below Core Ops?

Yes. Agencies with roughly 10–20 employees can request a custom Starter plan covering one function at starter volume, priced below Core Ops after a short review. The onboarding assessment and any cleanup still apply.

Is there a minimum contract term?

Core Ops, Full Back Office, and Enterprise run on a 12-month initial term, followed by month-to-month or annual renewal, with 60 days written notice to end. The Free plan and Toolkit Pro have no term. Pricing may adjust at renewal as outlined in your agreement.

What is free, and what comes with a paid plan?

The Free plan lets you try our approach: the public LON sandbox, basic Quick Mode readiness assessments for up to 5 saved participants, on-screen projections, the Savings Estimator, and introductory training. The full software suite (unlimited participants, Full Mode, the crosswalk, playbooks, benchmarks, branded PDFs, share links, Financial Modeling, weekly digests, and certificates) is Toolkit Pro, available on its own for $199–$499 per month by agency size, and included with every service package. That reflects years of methodology and the support behind it.

How do I get Toolkit Pro?

Toolkit Pro turns on automatically for everyone at an agency with an active Intrinsic service package (Starter, Core Ops, Full Back Office, or Enterprise). Agencies that only want the software can request Toolkit Pro on its own, month-to-month, priced by agency size.

What happens to participants I already saved on the Free plan?

Nothing is deleted. You can still open and review everything you have saved. The Free plan simply stops new saves once you reach 5 participants, and Pro features such as Full Mode, PDFs, share links, and digests unlock when you move to Toolkit Pro.

Not sure which package fits?

Most agencies start free or with Toolkit Pro, move to Core Ops when a role gets hard to keep staffed, and grow into Full Back Office. You can move up or down at any renewal — there is no penalty for starting small.
