AZ Blue Medicaid Members Gain Access to Home Healthcare Services
Transforming Healthcare Accessibility for Families
AZ Blue is excited to announce a new partnership with Nest Health, aiming to enhance healthcare accessibility for families. With the challenges that many families face in accessing traditional healthcare services, this initiative paves the way for in-home medical, mental, and social care.
Addressing Family Needs with In-Home Care
In the current landscape, many families struggle to access the necessary care due to various obstacles, such as lack of transportation or the unavailability of clinics nearby. Dr. Heather Carter, the Medicaid Segment General Manager at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona and Health Choice CEO, stated, "We want to help our members who do not have steady care or support. This program makes it easier for families to get the help they need, right where they are." This initiative is aimed to bridge the gap for those lacking adequate healthcare support.
The Benefits of Home Healthcare
Eligible families on the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona Health Choice plan will soon receive information about how to enroll in this valuable program. Arizona has faced significant difficulties in providing enough healthcare providers, especially in rural areas. This partnership with Nest Health is pivotal as it brings care teams directly to families' homes, ensuring that patients no longer have to travel far or wait lengthy periods for their healthcare needs.
The Nest Health team consists of diverse healthcare professionals—doctors, nurses, therapists, and care coordinators. They will deliver both in-home and virtual care, ensuring ongoing support around the clock. This comprehensive care includes vaccine administration, lab tests, management of chronic health conditions, and mental health support. They also assist families in finding essential resources such as food, housing, and employment opportunities.
Expanding Healthcare Access Across Arizona
This program currently operates in specific counties but aims to expand its reach over time, allowing even more families to benefit from accessible healthcare. Nest Health is dedicated to providing care to families in need, thereby addressing the root causes of poor health outcomes and high hospital utilization rates.
