Uber Health and ModivCare Announce Partnership, Boldly Aiming to Tackle Barriers to Healthcare Nationwide
06 8월 2021 - 6:30AM
Uber Health and ModivCare, a technology-enabled healthcare services
company that provides a suite of integrated supportive care
solutions focused on improving patient outcomes, today announced a
nationwide partnership aimed at removing barriers to care at-scale,
specifically for On-Demand Rides in underserved communities. The
partnership, which enables national collaboration, offers a suite
of integrated supportive care and non-emergency medical
transportation (NEMT) solutions for public and private payers and
30 million patients served by ModivCare nationwide – including many
Medicaid and Medicare Advantage members. In one of Uber’s largest
and most dynamic enterprise relationships – this partnership is
expected to enable greater access to care, help reduce costs across
the continuum of care, and streamline population health management,
thereby leading to improved patient outcomes in the U.S.
ModivCare is the largest NEMT broker in the nation, with over
40% of market share. In 2020, ModivCare managed 48.2 million trips
through the industry's largest network of contracted transportation
companies, mass transit partnerships, mileage reimbursement
programs, and independent driver networks to improve the well-being
of their patients. In integrating via Uber Health’s application
program interface (API), ModivCare can now even more easily request
rides for the communities they serve directly within their existing
workflows and offer access to care in communities that would
otherwise not be possible.
“This partnership is one step closer to ensuring people in
underserved communities are provided the highest quality access to
care and transportation solutions that allow them to overcome
health inequities. We will work tirelessly to continue our fight in
solving the social determinants of health challenges in the
nation,” said Dan Greenleaf, President and Chief Executive Officer
of ModivCare. “We continue to invest in our ability to deliver the
largest digital network of transportation partners to deliver
on-demand transportation and close the gap in access to care.”
For Uber Health and ModivCare, this partnership is a natural
extension of their broader commitments to addressing the social
determinants of health (SDoH) and providing seamless access to
healthcare which is expected to improve population healthcare
management, so more people can achieve and maintain healthy
lifestyles. Uber Health and ModivCare’s work together will help
make connections to care that have a profound impact on people’s
well-being. Beyond innovative mobility solutions, there is an
opportunity for this partnership to further improve health outcomes
more holistically by offering nutritional meal and prescription
delivery as well.
“Throughout the course of the pandemic, Uber has doubled down on
its commitment to address social determinants of health in
innovative ways – from committing to providing 10 million rides and
food deliveries to healthcare workers, seniors, and others in need,
to, more recently, offering free rides to vaccination sites,” said
Dara Khosrowshahi, Chief Executive Officer of Uber. “Access to
healthcare is an integral piece of comprehensive, holistic care,
which is why we’re proud to announce this partnership between Uber
Health and ModivCare. We look forward to building on the
partnership and leveraging the power and versatility of the Uber
platform to reduce barriers to care.”
Key social determinants of health – such as access to
transportation options, public safety, and additional resources
like local food markets and healthcare services – affect long-term
population and patient health outcomes. Negative effects
disproportionately impact vulnerable communities like the elderly,
low-income, or chronically ill. Lack of access to transportation in
particular is emerging as a critical barrier to care that leads to
rescheduled or missed appointments, delayed care, and missed or
delayed medication use. Recent studies show that almost 6 million
Americans miss medical care in a year due to transportation issues
and that even one missed appointment can lead to significantly
increased rates of attrition, where patients stop seeing their
regular providers.
