HealthHelp, a WNS company and specialty benefits management company independent of health plan ownership, and Covera Health, the healthcare quality analytics platform, has announced a new strategic partnership.
A statement said, “The agreement will extend the value of HealthHelp’s Diagnostic Imaging program through the integration of Covera’s national Centers of Excellence (CoE) program, increasing access to high-quality radiological care and improved outcomes for health plan members.”
It added, “This novel partnership will leverage Covera’s Center of Excellence program to enhance the HealthHelp Diagnostic Imaging program—leading to better quality and safety, improved outcomes for patients, and reduction in healthcare costs due to inappropriate care from misdiagnoses.”
“HealthHelp was founded under the guiding principles of improving outcomes through evidence-based medicine,” said Kariena Greiten, CEO, HealthHelp. “Our Diagnostic Imaging program was launched in 1999 with the explicit goal of improving patient safety and reducing unnecessary radiation exposure by determining the most medically appropriate tests for each individual. By incorporating Covera’s CoE program, HealthHelp has added a new dimension of data-driven patient engagement that delivers superior quality and outcomes by directing patients to high-quality radiology providers in their community once the study has been approved.”
“We’re incredibly excited by this partnership, which allows us to substantially expand the reach of our CoE program to HealthHelp’s member lives, elevating the impact we’re able to have on care quality and outcomes across the nation,” said Ron Vianu, CEO of Covera Health. “The ability to deploy our CoE solution through HealthHelp’s Diagnostic Imaging program is critical to our mission of working closely with all key stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem to drive better patient care at scale.”
