Delivering value – better outcomes at lower costs – to people receiving home & community-based services

Braided Health reinvents home and community-based services (HCBS)
delivery by partnering with managed care organizations (MCOs)
to optimize value and enhance care outcomes.

Millions of Americans need long-term services and support because of disabling conditions and chronic illnesses. We believe that people deserve to age at home with dignity, and their care should be aligned with their goals, preferences and values. Braided delivers service plans that meet these needs while cutting through the challenges in accessing HCBS.

Our advanced analytics uniquely identify opportunities for greater efficiency In 2022, the U.S. spent over $450 billion on LTSS, $196B of which was paid by Medicaid for HCBS. Our model addresses the diverse and high-resource needs of Dually enrolled members Managed care companies face rising costs and complex care needs, particularly within the HCBS sector, where traditional approaches have failed to effectively meet members’ needs. We augment personal care services with complementary and additional HCBS The current system often leads to misallocated resources and suboptimal care outcomes, compounded by a critical shortage of direct care workers.

We leverage our advanced capabilities to lower costs for HCBS, improve member outcomes, and establish a sustainable, learning-based approach that increases long-term value in HCBS. Our strategies are designed to address three critical areas:

Reducing Costs

Minimizing unnecessary resource use, including fraud and abuse, and preventing expensive care episodes through analytics driven interventions.

Improving Outcomes & Quality

Enhancing member health outcomes through personalized, data-driven service plans. Braided Quality Management Set monitors and manages HSBC-specific quality metrics.

Increasing Efficiency

Streamlining operations and reducing Medicare-Medicaid administrative burden as well as care team burnout through integrated tech solutions.

Personal care services represent more than 85% of the total costs in HCBS. Our approach sets us apart as we address the inefficiencies found in HCBS for dually enrolled members by:

Tailoring Care

Employing predictive modeling to tailor care interventions to individual member needs, ​ preventing both over-service and under-service.

Enhancing Decision Making

Providing real-time data to care teams for better decision-making, reducing the time spent on ineffective care strategies.

Integrating Services

Seamlessly integrating Medicare and Medicaid services to provide a cohesive care experience for members, addressing the disjointed service provision that often complicates care delivery.
