CMS Approves Clover Health's Expansion Plans for 2022
September 22 2021 - 9:00AM
Today, Clover Health (Nasdaq: CLOV) (“Clover”), a technology
company committed to improving health equity for America’s
underserved seniors, announces that the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS) has approved the company’s service area
expansion to operate in 101 new counties.
With this approved service area expansion beginning January 1,
2022, Clover’s Medicare Advantage (MA) plans will be available to
eligible individuals in 101 new counties across Georgia, New
Jersey, South Carolina, Texas, and Alabama – a new state for the
company. This will bring Clover’s total coverage area for its
Medicare Advantage plans to 209 counties across nine states.
Individuals eligible for Medicare in any of the 209 counties can
sign up for Clover’s plans during the Annual Election Period, which
runs from October 15 to December 7.
“With CMS’ approval of our significant expansion efforts, we
will be bringing affordable, wide network plans to additional
previously underserved communities, which we believe is the key to
achieving health equity for America’s aging population. Nearly
doubling our service counties in one year demonstrates the
differentiated scalability of our approach as compared to certain
other plans which are constrained to narrow service areas orbiting
specific providers,” said Andrew Toy, President of Clover.

About Clover Health: Clover Health (Nasdaq:
CLOV) is a next-generation risk-bearing organization aiming to
achieve health equity for all Americans. While our mission is to
improve every life, we particularly focus on seniors who have
historically lacked access to affordable high quality
healthcare.
We aim to provide great care, in a sustainable way, by having a
business model built around improving medical outcomes while
lowering avoidable costs. We do this while taking a holistic
approach to understanding the health needs and social risk factors
of those under our care. This strategy is underpinned by the
company’s proprietary software platform, the Clover Assistant,
which is designed to aggregate patient data from across the health
ecosystem to support clinical decision-making by presenting
physicians and other providers with real-time, personalized
recommendations at the point of care.
Making care more accessible is at the heart of our business, and
we believe patients should have the freedom to choose their
doctors. We offer two models of care: affordable Medicare Advantage
plans with extensive benefits; and care coordination for Original
Medicare beneficiaries through Direct Contracting. For both
programs, we provide primary care physicians with the Clover
Assistant and also make comprehensive home-based care available via
the Clover Home Care program.
With its corporate headquarters in Nashville, Clover’s workforce
is distributed around the U.S. and also includes a team of
world-class technologists based in Hong Kong. The company manages
care for Medicare beneficiaries in eleven states, including
Arizona, Georgia, Kansas, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Vermont.
