Morgantown-based WVU Medicine first announced the new plan in September, with a launch date set for Jan. 1, 2023. The system’s 30,000 employees and families will be the first to enroll.

By 2024, the system expects to begin offering Medicare Advantage plans with the aim of targeting small businesses. Eventually, the hope is to carry a Medicaid managed care plan and potentially offer a plan through the state’s Public Employees Insurance Agency.

In February, Huntington-based Marshall Health and Mountain Health Network joined Peak Health as minority owners.

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.
