The HealthHelp Diagnostic Imaging program is a consultative
process that uses evidence-based guidelines to directly help
healthcare providers facilitate the most appropriate tests and
procedures for health plan members. HealthHelp’s collaborative
approach combines a patented technology platform and advanced data
analytics with panels of academically affiliated specialists
throughout the country to ensure that every patient has access to
the latest science and the most up-to-date form of care.
Covera Health’s CoE program identifies high-quality radiology
providers in every community in the US and matches patients with
those providers for their specific condition. To create a seamless
experience for physicians and members, the Covera program will be
directly integrated into HealthHelp’s existing referral and network
workflows; no added steps will be necessary for physicians or
members.
“HealthHelp was founded under the guiding principles of
improving outcomes through evidence-based medicine,” said Kariena
Greiten, CEO, HealthHelp. “Our Diagnostic Imaging program was
launched in 1999 with the explicit goal of improving patient safety
and reducing unnecessary radiation exposure by determining the most
medically appropriate tests for each individual. By incorporating
Covera’s CoE program, HealthHelp has added a new dimension of
data-driven patient engagement that delivers superior quality and
outcomes by directing patients to high-quality radiology providers
in their community once the study has been approved.”
“We’re incredibly excited by this partnership, which allows us
to substantially expand the reach of our CoE program to
HealthHelp’s member lives, elevating the impact we’re able to have
on care quality and outcomes across the nation,” said Ron Vianu,
CEO of Covera Health. “The ability to deploy our CoE solution
through HealthHelp’s Diagnostic Imaging program is critical to our
mission of working closely with all key stakeholders in the
healthcare ecosystem to drive better patient care at scale.”
This novel partnership will leverage Covera’s Center of
Excellence program to enhance the HealthHelp Diagnostic Imaging
program—leading to better quality and safety, improved outcomes for
patients, and reduction in healthcare costs due to inappropriate
care from misdiagnoses.
