The collaboration with Belong Health introduces a level of experience that will enhance customers\u2019 experience by connecting them with resources they need, from primary care to behavioral and specialty care, and to community-based social support services. MVP Health Care will be the first in the Capital Region to offer this unique plan. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">More than 135,000 people in the Capital Region, Hudson Valley, and the North Country are eligible for a D-SNP plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0Belong Health, a built-for-purpose company with expertise in Medicare Advantage and Special Needs Plan products, was selected by MVP because of the organization\u2019s ability to complement MVP Health Care\u2019s strengths and further its drive for innovation in healthcare. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Both companies share a mission of making health insurance more personal putting the member at the center of the vision. Belong Health and MVP Health Care will offer New Yorkers the depth of knowledge and experience necessary to support underserved members with complicated health care needs, such as multiple chronic conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0\u201cMVP Health Care is on a mission to rearchitect health care around our members, which is why we continue to innovate in the way we design health plans and leverage new approaches to supporting our members that we haven\u2019t tried before,\u201d said MVP Health Care President and CEO, Chris Del Vecchio. \u201cThe company\u2019s joint venture with Belong Health is a natural evolution of our work to pioneer better health insurance plans for every community member and aid in our communities\u2019 evolving health care needs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"s2\"><!--more--><\/span>\u00a0Special Needs Plans (SNPs) are a type of Medicare Advantage plan focusing on intensive care coordination and designed for individuals with special needs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">SNPs are offered by Medicare Advantage Organizations like MVP Health Care that enroll individuals dually eligible for Medicaid and Medicaid (D-SNP), which allows members to maximize their benefits in a more coordinated way. D-SNP health plans break down the traditional silos of care by empowering care managers to be in constant contact with the members and their health care providers, ultimately allowing for a more coordinated approach to addressing a member\u2019s physical, behavioral, and social health needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0\u201cOur D-SNP will engage each customer to develop a personalized care plan \u2013 designed around their individual health and wellness goals,\u201d said MVP Health Care\u2019s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Carl Cameron. \u201cThe objective is to coordinate care plans while also allowing the members to take control of their health.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0Stemming from the aging Baby Boomer population, by 2030 the number of people eligible for Medicare will triple, and nearly 60% will have multiple chronic conditions. With that understanding, the number of people eligible for more coordinated care through D-SNP health insurance plans is expected to continue to grow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0\u201cOur collaboration with MVP Health Care will provide personalized coverage for the people in New York who need it most,\u201d said Belong Health co-founder and CEO J. Patrick Foley. \u201cAs we work together to reimagine the health insurance experience in a more compassionate, simple way, we\u2019re proud to partner with MVP Health Care to define what best-in-class D-SNP plans look like.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0For more information on MVP Health Care D-SNP plan or to sign up, please visit\u00a0www.MVPDualAccess.com.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MVP Health Care has launched a joint venture with\u00a0Belong Health\u00a0to support MVP Health Care\u2019s introduction of a new Medicare Advantage Dual-Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP).
