What You Should Know:

– Strive Health, the national leader in value-based kidney care, and Medical Mutual, one of the largest Ohio-based health insurance companies, announced a new value-based kidney care partnership.

– The strategic collaboration aims to deliver value-based kidney care to eligible members with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) across all lines of business, including Medicare Advantage, individual, and commercial group health plans.

Addressing a Hidden Health Crisis:

Over 1.3 million adults in Ohio live with CKD, but only 150,000 are aware of their condition. This lack of awareness can lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment, worsening health outcomes. Strive and Medical Mutual aim to increase awareness and early intervention by leveraging their combined resources and reach.

Partnership Impact and Reach

The strategic partnership is expected to support over 10,000 Ohioans living with kidney disease. Strive currently serves over 100,000 patients across 34 states and partners with over 700 nephrology providers. Their NCQA-accredited case management and population health programs and HITRUST-certified technology platform ensure high-quality care delivery.

Transforming Kidney Care Delivery

Strive’s proven value-based care model has demonstrably improved patient outcomes. Their approach, which combines technology-enabled interventions with seamless integration with local providers, has led to a 42% reduction in hospitalizations and a 94% satisfaction rate among patients. This partnership will bring this model to eligible Medical Mutual members, offering them:

– Coordinated care: Strive will work with patients, their local providers, and Medical Mutual to ensure they receive the right care at the right time.

– Proactive management: Strive’s care team will proactively monitor patients’ health and intervene to prevent complications.

– Improved patient experience: Patients will have access to a dedicated care team, educational resources, and support services.

“Providing Medical Mutual members better access to value-based kidney care is an important step in achieving our mission to revolutionize kidney care through comprehensive, patient-centered solutions that improve the quality of life for those affected by CKD,” said Chris Riopelle, Co-Founder and CEO at Strive Health. “Medical Mutual is committed to improving the lives of Ohioans through high-quality healthcare coverage and partnerships like this one, and I look forward to seeing the impact we will have in the coming years in working closely together to improve outcomes for people with kidney disease in Ohio.”

Strive currently serves over 100,000 patients nationwide across 34 states, partnering with over 700 nephrology providers.
