Today, Clover Health (“Clover” or the “Company”) announced a
partnership with Quartet Health, a value-based behavioral health
care enablement and delivery company, to increase the support and
resources provided to Clover members with serious mental illness
(SMI) through the Company’s home-based care delivery unit, Clover
Home Care.
As part of this partnership, Quartet will use its expert care
teams to augment Clover Home Care’s capabilities. Quartet’s
clinicians will also begin using the Clover Assistant platform to
deliver care to the Clover patients under its care.
Clover Home Care addresses the needs of Clover’s most complex
patient cohorts by delivering in-home care access, medication
support, mental and physical care coordination, as well as local
community resource and transportation support. Its care teams –
both in-home and virtual – are led by physicians and nurse
practitioners trained in both palliative care and family medicine,
along with care coordinators, social workers, medical assistants
and dedicated case managers.
To augment Clover Home Care’s robust care delivery model, and
address one of Clover’s highest need cohorts, the Company is
tapping into the behavioral health expertise of Quartet Health’s
Whole Health program to provide additional support to members
suffering from SMI. The Whole Health program is a unique,
whole-person care delivery solution that delivers a
fully-integrated physical and behavioral health model that will
take accountability for the total cost of care (TCOC) on Clover
Health’s most complex members, while also providing wraparound care
services for a traditionally underserved patient population.
“Patients with serious mental illness often have worse outcomes
and a lower life expectancy, and they experience a fragmented
healthcare system that does not adequately address their
behavioral, physical, and social needs,” said Dr. Michael J. Lipp,
Quartet Health’s Chief Medical Officer, and former CMO of the CMS
Innovation Center. “Patients often struggle to get access to care,
and the care they do receive is often uncoordinated. Layered on top
of Clover Assistant's data-driven insights, this program will
provide care that is coordinated, comprehensive and convenient, at
no additional cost to patients.”
“Through Clover Home Care, we are delivering impactful,
proactive support to our members via a high-touch model built on
top of the computing power of Clover Assistant. This allows our
highly skilled and compassionate care teams to have a holistic view
of each patient’s individual needs and address them accordingly,”
said Brady Priest, CEO of Clover Home Care. “We’re confident that
additional behavioral health support for our SMI cohort will
increase the quality of life for these members, while continuing to
reduce unnecessary spend.”
In addition to its care management capabilities, Clover's
proprietary technology stack is essential in driving enrollment in
disease-specific programs like Whole Health by Quartet. For
example, Artificial intelligence (AI) embedded in Clover Assistant
will identify members at highest risk of suffering from
under-treated SMI, and identify increasing risk of hospitalizations
for the SMI population.
As of January 1, Clover Home Care with Whole Health by Quartet
Health is available to eligible members in New Jersey for no
additional cost. For Clover members interested in learning more
