Walmart Health is entering into a relationship with Ambetter
from Sunshine Health, which provides insurance to individuals
through the Florida health insurance marketplace, and with Orlando
Health, a private, not-for-profit network of community and
specialty hospitals across Florida, through Care Coordination
Agreements. The agreements will provide Floridians with increased
access to affordable healthcare options throughout the patient
journey.
Walmart Health Centers to Serve Ambetter Health Members with
Convenient Care
Ambetter from Sunshine Health now includes Walmart Health
Centers as a preferred provider in Clay, Duval, Hillsborough,
Orange, Osceola, Pasco and Seminole counties in Florida through the
Ambetter Value Plan. The relationship, which is built on a shared
vision to help Americans gain access to affordable healthcare
options, will initially focus on patient engagement through care
coordination and referral management.
This collaboration marks an expansion of the existing
relationship between Walmart Health and Ambetter Health, the
largest and longest running carrier on the health insurance
marketplace and one of the leading healthcare programs provided by
Centene Corporation (“Centene”) (NYSE: CNC). The relationship
started earlier this year as the companies collaborated to enhance
awareness of Medicaid redetermination efforts and expand access to
Marketplace health insurance within Walmart Health Centers.
“We continue to look for ways to make healthcare even more
accessible to the communities we serve,” said Richard Fuchs, Senior
Vice President, Sales, Strategy and Innovation, Walmart. “Both
Walmart Health and Ambetter Health share a focus on serving local
communities, and this collaboration will enable more Floridians to
access care. We’re excited to offer Ambetter from Sunshine Health
members quality care in one location, conveniently located adjacent
to Walmart Supercenters where many members already shop for
groceries and everyday essentials.”
“Centene’s mission is to transform the health of the communities
we serve, one person at a time. By working together with Walmart
Health in Florida, we are well-positioned to help deliver quality,
affordable healthcare options in new locations across the state.
Ultimately, this will broaden access to care for more Floridians
through Ambetter from Sunshine Health,” said CEO of Ambetter
Health, Kevin Counihan.
Marketplace open enrollment runs from November 1, 2023 through
January 15, 2024. Ending dates will vary by state. Learn more about

Walmart Health and Orlando Health Working Together to
Coordinate Care
Walmart Health and Orlando Health are working together to serve
the Orlando community through care coordination activities designed
to make it easier for Orlando area residents and their providers to
coordinate a patient’s health care journey. By working together,
Walmart Health and Orlando Health have agreed to more closely align
on their approach to serving patients and managing patient outcomes
by streamlining the patient experience through effective
transitions of care and ensure robust communication between Walmart
Health Center and Orlando Health providers.
“Value-based outcomes are a community effort, and it is a
natural evolution to work closely with other providers in the
community that have shared goals. With Orlando Health as a partner,
we look forward to offering a more streamlined service for our
Orlando-area Walmart Health patients in support of community
wellness.” said Eric Prochnow, Senior Director, Clinical Network
Partnerships.
“By collaborating with Walmart Health and focusing on care
coordination in the shared patient populations, we’ll be better
positioned to more quickly identify patient needs and improve
outcomes together in the Orlando area,” Cary D’Ortona, Senior Vice
President, Orlando Health and President, Orlando Health Medical
Group.
Walmart Health provides a range of healthcare services in one
convenient location for members of the local community so they can
get the right care at the right time, right in their community –
meeting them where they live.

convenient, accessible and affordable for customers across the
