San Francisco-based Waymark manages a network of community health workers, pharmacists, behavioral health therapists and coordinators in clinics to manage care between patients and primary care providers, according to an Oct. 25 news release shared with Becker’s.
Starting in 2023, Waymark will serve Aetna Medicaid members in the Richmond and Tidewater areas first, with plans to expand.
“For many of our members, especially those with complex care needs, receiving coordinated and holistic health care is essential for improving their health and quality of life,” Aetna Medicaid President Jerold Mammano said. “Through our new value-based collaboration with Waymark, Aetna Medicaid members in Virginia will have expanded access to behavioral health services and resources to address social care needs.”
At the Becker's 5th Annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable, taking place November 2–3 in Chicago, payer executives and healthcare leaders will come together to discuss value-based care, regulatory changes, cost management strategies and innovations shaping the future of payer-provider collaboration.
