CareSource selected as National Managed Care Organization to Lead Access to Health Care for Veterans. | July 9, 2018
AMVETS and CareSource Partner to Transform Veterans Health Care
CareSource, an Ohio-based nonprofit health plan has been selected by AMVETS (American Veterans) the National congressionally chartered Veterans organization to develop a health care program using their managed care model. CareSource coordinates health care access for underserved populations and has recently expanded its focus to include veterans who face health care access issues. This program will allow Veterans the choice of access to health care outside of the (VA) system.
AMVETS recently added health care intervention and advocacy services for underserved veterans to its portfolio of programs. The supportive services coincide with the organization’s highly anticipated launch of the HEAL Program in March 2018. The HEAL program is an initiative designed to address access to health care issues.
Following the passage of the VA Mission Act earlier this month, AMVETS met with senior executives from CareSource to discuss the future of veterans’ health care and how the two organizations could play an active role in developing an innovative program.
