Managed Medicaid Plans must adopt digital health solutions to secure reprocurement
A spotlight on Medicaid telehealth policy and opportunity for managed plans to foster innovation.
This article about Medicaid telehealth policy was featured in MedTech Boston , Electronic Health Reporter, and Healthcare Business Today in April 2019.
By: Michael Scarbrough, Board Member at AristaMD
Suppose it isn’t already clear; the headlines signal that the healthcare innovation era is moving swiftly upon us. Managed Medicaid plans could be losing out on millions of contracted lives (and money) by lagging in the adoption of digital telehealth solutions to improve access to care and patient outcomes. Leveraging an eConsult platform is a proven way to increase access to high-quality care while lowering system costs, ensuring innovation scoring opportunities are not missed.
Innovation is the new constant
Although the pace of innovation in healthcare has traditionally been slow, organizations are increasingly seeking new ways to innovate in order to support value-based care models.
Recent partnerships formed between Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorgan Chase, CVS and Aetna, Cigna and Express Scripts, and so on strongly indicate that innovations rooted in providing better care for lower costs are paramount to the success and growth of healthcare.
Payers whose ongoing strategies are not placing precedence upon innovation will be left in the dust.
Not only will this be costly for access and quality, but it can also jeopardize managed Medicaid payers’ chance of re-procuring and expanding contracts.
