MissionPoint increases access and improves health of communities, while lowering costs

 MissionPoint Health Partners has launched its population health management model into Indiana and is expanding access to now more than 250,000 members and 7,700 contracted providers. St.Mary’s partnered with MissionPoint earlier this year.

MissionPoint and St.Mary’s are both members of Ascension, the nation’s largest Catholic and not-for-profit health system. MissionPoint is a population health company that makes healthcare more affordable, accessible and works to improve the overall health of communities.

MissionPoint works with providers, employers and payers to create custom, high-quality healthcare networks that members can access at lower cost. MissionPoint then supports its members with a unique care model, offering personalized care to those who may need clinical and social support beyond traditional healthcare to achieve their best health. The result is an improved healthcare experience for members and stronger care coordination, which typically helps drive down healthcare costs for the entire population.

The hospitals that now offer MissionPoint services in Indiana include:

  • Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent
  • St. Mary’s Health
  • St. Mary’s Warrick Hospital
  • St.Vincent Anderson Regional
  • St.Vincent Carmel
  • St.Vincent Clay
  • St.Vincent Dunn
  • St.Vincent Fishers
  • St.Vincent Frankfort
  • St.Vincent Heart Center
  • St.Vincent Indianapolis
  • St.Vincent Jennings
  • St.Vincent Kokomo
  • St.Vincent Mercy
  • St.Vincent Randolph
  • St.Vincent Salem
  • St.Vincent Seton Specialty
  • St.Vincent Williamsport
  • St.Vincent Women’s

“MissionPoint truly helps members, especially those who are vulnerable,” said Dr. Tricia Baird, Chief Medical Officer of St. Mary’s CARE Partners. “By providing an extra layer of support, members gain access to resources, including financial and quality of life programs. MissionPoint is carrying out the Ascension mission to serve all persons through spiritually centered, holistic care, which sustains and improves the health of individuals and communities.”

MissionPoint is now in seven markets across the United States, and will add additional markets in 2016. By expanding into new and existing markets, MissionPoint is able to reach additional underserved and vulnerable populations, particularly those on Medicare. All seven markets, including Indiana, are part of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP).

“We believe that healthcare can be better. By continuing to expand into new markets across the country, we are increasing access to members who need our services most,” said Jason Dinger, CEO of MissionPoint Health Partners. “Through our Health Partners, we help members navigate the complex healthcare system and take charge of their health. Health Partners provide both clinical and non-clinical support to members as they transition among healthcare providers, including an assessment of physical, mental and emotional needs.”
