Eleanor Health and Point32Health have formed a partnership to help Tufts Health Plan MassHealth members with drug use disorders and other mental and physical health problems.
- Program: The value-based program will use a population health management model and provide patients with comprehensive care, including access to medications for substance use disorder, psychiatry and mental health care, group and individual therapy, nurse care management and peer support.
- Death rate: “According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, the opioid overdose death rate in Massachusetts was nearly double the national average in 2019 and the death rate for all drug overdoses was more than 30% higher than the national average,” said Corbin Petro, CEO, and co-founder of Eleanor Health.
- Provisions: In addition to the population health management model, Eleanor will also provide support to Point32Health’s members for other physical and behavioral health conditions, including coordination of community resources to address identified barriers related to social determinants of health.
- Accessibility: “One of our goals is to provide our members with access to quality, evidence-based care,” said Jill Borrelli, vice president of behavioral health at Point32Health. “We are very excited to work with Eleanor Health. Their whole person approach destigmatizes substance use disorder and has demonstrated impressive outcomes.”
- In-person: Point32Health’s Tufts Health Plan MassHealth members can receive services in person at one of Eleanor’s clinics in Lowell or Worcester, or anywhere statewide via Eleanor’s telehealth platform.
