Molina Medicare Implements MedAssurant’s SmartCare™ Disease Management Solution Suite

BOWIE, Md. & LANSING, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MedAssurant, Inc., a leading provider of data-driven healthcare solutions, announced today that Molina Healthcare, Inc., a national provider of managed Medicare and Medicaid operating in 10 states, has selected MedAssurant’s SmartCare™ patient data and care coordination solution suite in a multi-state rollout focusing on superior patient clinical and quality outcomes and utilization efficiency.

“We have been impressed with Molina’s drive to implement advanced performance solutions for the benefit of their members, providers, and overall financial efficiency. We are very pleased to be a part of Molina’s initiatives with the implementation of our SmartCare™ data and disease management solutions”

“Focusing on superior patient outcomes while driving utilization effectiveness and financial performance improvements is highly important to Molina Healthcare. This focus is all the more important in the current environment of risk adjusted managed care and because the population Molina primarily serves, the financially vulnerable dual eligible, is most profoundly impacted by effectively addressing these issues,” said Rick Slaughter, Vice President, Molina Medicare. “We recognize that an advanced appreciation of patient-specific data and a significant focus on each patient’s uniqueness is key to achieving truly meaningful results. These are cornerstones of MedAssurant’s approach to an advanced generation of care management.”

The MedAssurant SmartCare™ solution will provide Molina Medicare, its providers, and its members with a unique care management advantage resulting from a highly data-driven approach to supporting and coordinating care and assessments amongst members with the challenging needs of diabetes, heart failure, coronary artery disease, COPD, asthma, and the extensive array of comorbidity that can accompany these and other conditions. MedAssurant’s unique approach applies advanced healthcare data analytics to inform and direct highly stratified assessments, communications, care plans, and interventions through a combination of remote and in-market clinical personnel. This has been shown to significantly improve clinical and quality outcomes, decrease emergency room and inpatient admission rates, and dramatically decrease overall costs within engaged populations.

“We have been impressed with Molina’s drive to implement advanced performance solutions for the benefit of their members, providers, and overall financial efficiency. We are very pleased to be a part of Molina’s initiatives with the implementation of our SmartCare™ data and disease management solutions,” stated Keith Dunleavy, M.D., President and CEO of MedAssurant. “The partnership with Molina has been a long-standing one. This expansion of an already strong relationship, bringing the capabilities of data-driven care management to the members and providers of Molina, is another great step together in our partnership and a reflection of Molina’s ongoing effort to deliver highly differentiated care and results.”

The SmartCare™ implementation is an expansion of the MedAssurant and Molina relationship which dates back to 2002 when the two organizations first started working together, initially in the state of Michigan. Since that time, Molina and MedAssurant have expanded their relationship to include the implementation of MedAssurant’s NCQA certified HEDIS® clinical and quality outcomes measurement and reporting solutions and coordinated risk adjustment solutions into all states in which Molina operates.

With this implementation of SmartCare™, Molina has selected a combination of MedAssurant’s NCQA accredited disease management Chronic Care Solution known as CCS Advantage™ and the company’s Electronic Patient Assessment Solution Suite known as ePASS™. The two solutions will be coordinated through an implementation of MedAssurant’s healthcare data management platform known as CareSync Advantage™.
