Cofounder & CEO at Uno Health - We're Hiring! boards.greenhouse.io/unohealth?t=ced14dc64us
So much of what we do at Uno Health is about leveling the playing field for seniors with respect to healthcare affordability, and ultimately outcomes. To best deliver for our Medicare plans partners and their members, we not only need to build great technology, but also quickly adapt to the (fast!) evolving landscape of healthcare regulations in the US. To that end, I recently had an opportunity to sit down with Lindsay Knable at Oliver Wyman for an important conversation around recent changes in the Health Equity Index (HEI) at CMS - a policy change that reflects CMS's continued focus on ensuring lower-income seniors are prioritized and get the care they need. To succeed on this measure, plans likely need a robust strategy that includes: 1. Analysis to identify members eligible but not enrolled in HEI qualifying programs (Medicaid, Medicare Savings Program and LIS) 2. Scalable outreach and comprehensive enrollment solutions into all income-based programs, such as SNAP, Utility assistance and Prescription assistance, which ensure the qualifying HEI population performs well on other stars measure. 3. The ability to embed eligibility and enrollment tools within the hands of teams already touching members every day (All of which we've been focused on at Uno Health long before the HEI measure arrived!) Thank you Lindsay Knable Matthew Weinstock and Emraan Khan for partnership on this exciting conversation! https://lnkd.in/d-5kSfHj
