What You Should Know:

– Buckeye Health Plan and Cityblock are teaming up to provide integrated, community-based care to approximately 10,000 underserved Medicaid recipients in the Cleveland-Akron-Canton area.

– The strategic partnership promises to redefine healthcare delivery for vulnerable communities, prioritizing whole-person health and tackling barriers to access in Ohio.

Building Bridges, Improving Outcomes

Buckeye is a leading Ohio Medicaid managed care plan serving over 428,000 members, offering primary care through its extensive provider network. Cityblock’s model integrates clinical care with social support, addressing factors like food insecurity and housing that impact health outcomes. As part of the partnership, Buckeye will connect Cityblock providers to members who haven’t seen their primary care physician in a year, promoting preventive care and chronic disease management. Cityblock’s 24/7 wrap-around services provide virtual, in-home, and clinic-based care, extending access and convenience.

This partnership holds significant promise for improving healthcare access, equity, and outcomes for thousands of Medicaid recipients in Ohio. By combining Buckeye’s reach with Cityblock’s innovative model, this collaboration paves the way for a more holistic and effective approach to healthcare delivery, prioritizing the needs of underserved communities.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Cityblock to further address the physical, behavioral, environmental and social factors that impact health,” says Dr. Brad Lucas, Buckeye Chief Medical Officer.
