CareSource and Radiant Alliance have entered a strategic collaboration to improve health outcomes and quality of life for people with complex health needs.
CareSource is a nonprofit managed care organisation that provides Medicaid, Medicare, and Marketplace health plans to underserved communities across the US.
Radiant Alliance is a consortium of nonprofit health and human services providers.
The organisation works to improve community care through collaborative initiatives, advanced care solutions, and support services for underserved populations.
CareSource complex health solutions senior vice president Josh Boynton said: “This alliance with independent, nonprofit providers means CareSource now has better access to more integrated health care for complex populations.
“Our ability to drive efficiencies, increase transparency and create advanced payment models will benefit those we collectively serve and create cost savings for government-sponsored health care programs.”
Radiant Alliance provider members maintain their unique missions while adopting best practices, efficiencies, and participation in alternative payment models.
Currently, Radiant Alliance members include Genacross Lutheran Services, Metta Healthcare and United Church Homes.
The member organisations provide chronic disease management, end-of-life care, housing, long-term nursing care, assisted living, short-term skilled nursing, and respite care services.
Radiant Alliance and United Church Homes CEO Kenneth Daniel said: “Together, we embark on a journey to redefine health care with an aspiration to ensure every person with complex health needs receives the compassionate, comprehensive care they deserve.”
Metta Health CEO and Radiant Alliance president Kent Anderson said: “We are already seeing early successes that highlight the significant potential of this alliance.
“Radiant Alliance’s ability to show cost savings allows nonprofit providers to focus on what really matters – our missions to improve the health and quality of life of our patients.”
Genacross Lutheran Services president and CEO, Radiant Alliance treasurer Rick Marshall said: “Genacross is excited to join with CareSource and member organisations in Radiant Alliance to build care models that more effectively address a variety of medical and social needs for individuals.”
