"We are working with D-SNPs using a proven methodology to ensure the successful planning and implementation of the Enrollee Advisory Committees to meet plan goals," said RWC founder Rex Wallace. "Meeting CMS mandates will be a heavy lift that will further distinguish leading health plans. Predict Health is an innovative leader in building and maintaining Medicare member communities using a data-driven approach to recruit, engage, and improve member experience and retention.
