NASHVILLE, Tennessee & HOUSTON—Monogram Health, a value-based multispecialty provider of in-home care for patients with multiple chronic conditions, and Memorial Hermann Health System, a nonprofit health system committed to creating healthier Houston communities, launched services to provide care for commercial and Medicare Advantage (MA) members of Memorial Hermann Health Plan, the insurance division of the Houston-based health system.
This joint venture between Monogram and Memorial Hermann brings together Monogram's expertise in providing multispecialty in-home care with Memorial Hermann's care network that includes its physicians and more than 270 care delivery sites across Greater Houston. The launch of services for Memorial Hermann Health Plan members aims to deliver holistic, patient-centered care that addresses the complex needs of individuals living with chronic kidney disease and its causes, including diabetes, high blood pressure and metabolic disorders.
"This milestone marks an exciting first step for our joint venture with Memorial Hermann Health System," said Mike Uchrin, CEO and co-founder of Monogram Health. "We're creating a seamless care model that holistically and collaboratively addresses complex health needs and improves outcomes for Memorial Hermann patients living with chronic diseases."
The collaboration exemplifies Monogram's commitment to value-based care by aligning health systems, providers, and payers to deliver integrated and affordable care. This initial population launch sets the stage for expanding the program to additional populations and health plans, further advancing the joint venture's goal to improve care for patients with multiple chronic conditions.
"We are always looking for new and innovative ways to advance the patient experience and improve health, especially for those patients with multiple chronic conditions," said Jay Hurt, CEO for Memorial Hermann Health Plan. "Our patients who need this type of treatment will now be able to receive personalized care that is both innovative and compassionate without having to leave the comfort of their homes."
This launch also builds on Monogram's trajectory of growth. Monogram now covers 200,000 lives in 36 states as it looks to continue to expand and ensure more patients receive personalized, in-home support that improves quality of life and delivers measurable results.
