About This Webinar
Too often, payers and health care providers are at odds when it comes to treating patients, especially vulnerable and complex populations. Overwhelmed by social drivers including income, food insecurity, housing and transportation – combined with high levels of mental health and substance abuse issues – effective care management has historically eluded stakeholders. This presentation, however, will demonstrate that true partnership between payers and providers is not only possible, but also successful.
The speakers will share tools for working together to identify, engage and provide care for Medicaid members, including a combination of a core, integrated team with a community outreach team. This model has demonstrated significant outcomes in reducing unnecessary hospital visits and lowering health care costs while increasing consistent primary care visits and instilling trust in patients.
This webinar will address the issue of payer-provider collaboration by showcasing how effective partnerships can successfully manage care for vulnerable Medicaid populations and help reduce unnecessary hospital visits, increase primary care visits and lower health care costs. Focusing on an integrated care model that addresses both clinical needs and social determinants of health, such as food insecurity, housing instability and transportation, the speakers will provide actionable tools for identifying and engaging Medicaid members.
Additionally, the session will explore barriers to care delivery while offering strategies to overcome them. The speakers will also delve into the future of health equity, discussing the role of value-based care and emerging research, along with personal experiences and examples from real-world practice. By addressing these topics, the webinar aims to demonstrate how payer-provider partnerships can achieve sustainable, equitable care for complex and underserved populations.
