Health System Chooses Partner with Managed
Medicaid Expertise
Conifer Health Solutions today announced that Alameda Health
System (AHS) has engaged the company to provide Managed Care
services to support HealthPAC, a comprehensive health access
program for eligible enrollees of Alameda County, California.
Conifer Health will provide managed care support services,
financial risk management, population health management and nurse
consulting services to help the four-hospital system better serve a
population of 33,000 HealthPAC members.
Under terms of the agreement, Conifer Health will deliver health
plan operations support including claims processing, referral and
authorization, customer service and eligibility, among other
services. The company will use its ConiferCore® solutions,
including Outcomes Optimization and Population Health Intelligence,
to enable AHS care managers and medical management professionals to
proficiently manage the health of high-risk populations within
HealthPAC. Conifer Health will also commence a consulting
engagement to assess care management programs with the goal of
improving the quality of care by aggregating, stratifying and then
designing specific outreach programs for high-risk populations.
“Our objective is to implement the best solutions to provide
better and more coordinated care in a cost-effective manner,” said
David Cox, Chief Financial Officer of Alameda Health System. “We
are confident that our engagement with Conifer Health will enhance
our ability to provide high-quality, affordable healthcare to the
residents of Alameda County.”
AHS chose Conifer Health because of its long-standing expertise
in helping care delivery organizations assume and manage financial
risk, specifically in the Medi-Cal market, where the growth of
managed Medicaid organizations is projected for nearly every region
in the state.
“After more than 20 years helping California-based care
providers succeed in a managed Medicaid environment, we are excited
to work with Alameda Health to further its mission to make
healthcare more efficient and patient-centered,” said Megan North,
president of Value-Based Care for Conifer Health. “Together, we
will bring new and engaging care management programs to improve the
health and well-being of their patients.”
