CareMax, Inc., a leading technology-enabled provider of value-based care for seniors, said today that it has entered into a partnership with Anthem, a national health benefits organization. CareMax wants to develop medical centers in places where Anthem will offer a value-based care model to improve patient outcomes as a result of this partnership.
- Collaboration: Through this collaboration agreement, CareMax plans to open approximately 50 medical centers with a focus on Indiana, Texas, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Georgia, Connecticut, and Virginia, among others.
- Inclusive partner: “At Anthem, we strive to be the most innovative, valuable, and inclusive partner for our patients and communities,” said Christopher Day, president of value-based solutions at Anthem. “This new collaboration with CareMax will allow us to transition patients to a value-based care model, which we believe will create better outcomes for our patients by allowing them to spend more time with medical teams and receive the additional support services that CareMax offers.”
- Effective partnership: Additionally, on July 15, 2021, Empire BlueCross BlueShield, an Anthem Company, in partnership with nonprofit insurer EmblemHealth was awarded the City of New York group Medicare Advantage retiree contract to serve up to approximately 250,000 retired workers. The contract is scheduled to go into effect on January 1, 2022. Anthem will be working collaboratively with CareMax, and other providers, to bring as many of these retirees as possible into value-based arrangements.
- Great outcomes: “We have seen great outcomes for our patients in South Florida and now we are working to bring our model nationwide,” said Carlos de Solo, CEO of CareMax. “We know that value-based care helps seniors live healthier lives, and we are excited to partner with Anthem to bring healthcare with a heart to the populations who need it most.”
- Technology cared outcomes: CareMax is a technology-enabled care platform providing value-based care and chronic disease management to seniors. CareMax operates medical centers that offer a comprehensive suite of healthcare and social services, and a proprietary software and services platform that provides data, analytics, and rules-based decision tools/workflows for physicians across the United States.
