Revolutionizing Medicaid Care Delivery
CHESS Health Solutions has proudly announced the launch of its Medicaid Clinically Integrated Network (CIN), an innovative strategy tailored to assist healthcare providers in navigating the complexities of the Managed Medicaid framework. They aim to enhance health outcomes across all Medicaid recipients, ensuring a comprehensive approach rather than just focusing on high-need patients.
Inclusive Whole-Population Approach
This inclusive methodology differentiates CHESS’s Medicaid CIN from traditional models. Many Clinically Integrated Networks focus solely on high-risk individuals, but CHESS takes a broader stance by supporting the entire patient panel. This proactive management ensures that every patient receives the care they deserve, regardless of their initial health status.
Driving Value-Based Care Above All
Backed by over a decade of expertise in care management and a strong record in value-based care, CHESS has crafted a transformative model that utilizes real-time data to address the unique needs of North Carolina's Medicaid population. This model not only identifies challenges but also innovates ways to overcome them.
Empowering Providers
The CHESS Medicaid CIN is intentionally designed to empower independent healthcare providers. It equips them with essential tools, resources, and robust support to enhance care coordination and improve patient outcomes effectively. Providers can benefit from three primary services offered by the network: Licensing, Care Management, and Full CIN Participation. Each service allows for flexibility depending on the provider's capacity and specific goals.
A Collective Vision for Quality Care
“Our CIN combines a diverse range of providers dedicated to delivering patient-centered care,” said Dr. Yates Lennon, president of CHESS Health Solutions. By integrating evidence-based protocols and utilizing real-time data alongside comprehensive care management, they empower practitioners to provide superior care to those who need it most.
Key Benefits of the CHESS Medicaid CIN

Providers are incentivized with additional financial rewards, including a percentage of shared savings and bonuses for participating in collaborative efforts, aligning incentives with patient outcomes.

“Our Medicaid CIN aims to exceed mere compliance—it is a tool designed to genuinely transform care for the vulnerable populations in our state,” stated Josh Vire, vice president of value-based operations at CHESS. “We take pride in being a trusted ally for providers as they tackle the challenges associated with value-based Medicaid care.”
