Problem
Medicaid recipients often face challenges navigating the healthcare system and accessing necessary resources due to social determinants of health, leading to increased emergency department visits and poorer health outcomes. The complexity of coordinating care across various providers and addressing individual needs creates barriers to effective healthcare delivery for this population.
Solution
Waymark provides a coordinated care model for Medicaid patients by connecting them with local care teams, including community health workers, licensed therapists, pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and care coordinators. These teams offer personalized support, addressing both physical and mental health needs, as well as social determinants of health such as food, housing, and transportation. By facilitating communication between patients, primary care providers, and the Waymark team, the platform aims to improve patient outcomes, reduce avoidable emergency department visits, and promote overall well-being. The care team meets with patients on their schedule to create a plan that fits their life and provides ongoing support.
