Collaborative, education-based model will
deliver better member outcomes, safety, and satisfaction
HealthHelp, a WNS company and leading national specialty
benefits management company independent of health plan ownership,
today announced a partnership with Highmark Wholecare, formerly
Gateway Health Plan, Inc., which cares for the total health of its
more than 350,000 Medicaid and Medicare members across
Pennsylvania. This partnership will ensure that the most
appropriate cardiology, radiation therapy, and sleep medicine care
is provided to Highmark Wholecare members.
HealthHelp’s consultative process uses evidence-based guidelines
to directly help providers facilitate the most appropriate tests
and procedures for their patients. This collaborative approach is
based on the participation of panels of specialists from academic
centers of excellence, including Pennsylvania-based Thomas
Jefferson University, to ensure that every patient has access to
the best doctors and most up-to-date form of care in each medical
specialty.
The partnership with HealthHelp strengthens Highmark Wholecare’s
total health approach by providing education and guidance from
leading specialists in cardiology, radiation oncology, and sleep,
which delivers improved transparency, safety, and quality of care.
As a result, plan members and healthcare providers benefit from
increased collaboration between physicians and provider networks,
strengthening rapport and communications, and ensuring optimal
care.
“We are honored to be partnering with Highmark Wholecare to
improve the quality of care for their members. Highmark Wholecare
is an industry leader in servicing the Medicaid and Medicare
populations, which are central to HealthHelp’s commitment to
clinical collaboration,” said Kariena Greiten, CEO, HealthHelp.
“The HealthHelp model is unique in the specialty benefits
management industry due to its focus on ensuring that the most
appropriate and effective care is delivered in every setting. I’m
proud to say that this model aligns with Highmark Wholecare’s
vision of total health by providing access to quality healthcare
for vulnerable populations in Pennsylvania.”
