Boston Medical Center HealthNet Plan Chooses MedeAnalytics to Optimize Medicaid Performance Management

EMERYVILLE, Calif., March 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- MedeAnalytics® today announced that Boston Medical Center HealthNet Plan (BMCHP), a non-profit managed care organization committed to providing the highest quality healthcare coverage to underserved populations, selected MedeAnalytics to implement its cloud-based technology platform to optimize care management activities for over 300,000 members, identifying gaps in care and tracking cost savings opportunities.

MedeAnalytics' Medicaid Management solution enables payers like BMCHP to solve medical and provider network challenges they face in providing vulnerable populations access to care. By integrating the Medicaid Management solution into their care processes, BMCHP will be able to efficiently identify and stratify care for specific, at-risk patient groups. They will also leverage the solutions' advanced analytics capabilities to monitor emerging trends, allowing them to proactively adapt and modify procedures to minimize costs.

"We are committed to providing the highest quality healthcare coverage to the traditionally underserved populations of Massachusetts and New Hampshire " said Lisa Feingold, Vice President of Clinical Informatics at BMCHP. "In the wake of reform and the ever-evolving healthcare landscape, our care management team, as well as our provider partners, need a robust analytics solution that can be quickly implemented to support population health management. MedeAnalytics' solution is a critical part of our efforts to improve the health of our members, improve the experience of care and reduce the cost of health care."

Over the coming months, BMCHP will roll out the Medicaid Management solution for all its beneficiaries across Massachusetts and New Hampshire in order to provide a more centralized, robust view of care delivery, costs and quality. The go-live date is slated for May 2014.
