Problem
Many managed care plans struggle to effectively address social determinants of health (SDOH) among their members, leading to gaps in healthcare access and poorer health outcomes. Lack of integration between healthcare services and community-based social support systems hinders the ability to connect individuals with needed resources.
Solution
BeneLynk provides a data-driven platform that integrates SDOH insights to enhance member engagement and support for managed care plans. The platform connects members with essential services and benefits, addressing gaps in healthcare access and improving overall health outcomes. BeneLynk's approach involves identifying member needs related to social factors such as housing, food security, and transportation, then proactively linking them to relevant community resources and assistance programs. By acting as a trusted personal advocate, BeneLynk helps members navigate complex systems, apply for benefits like Medicare Part B assistance and Extra Help for prescription costs, and coordinate their care. The platform also supports veterans by facilitating the sharing of VA records with their Medicare plans to ensure well-coordinated care.
