Bright HealthCare (“Bright Health”), a leading tech-enabled health insurance carrier, announced a new partnership with MedArrive, a healthcare platform that enables payers and providers to extend medical services into the home. Through the program, which recently kicked off in Charlotte, North Carolina, Bright Health is tapping into MedArrive’s network of highly skilled EMS professionals within the community to conduct in-home preventive health visits, coupled with physician-led telemedicine oversight to improve outcomes for more than 10,000 new members.

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed how care is delivered in every city across the country, accelerating the use of technology and moving care into the home. This strategic collaboration seamlessly bridges the virtual care gap, combining video consultations with providers and in-person visits from MedArrive’s local EMTs and paramedics who act as an extension of the Bright Health team. Tapping into this powerful segment of the healthcare workforce not only benefits patients, it also empowers EMS professionals to diversify their daily responsibilities, practice to the full extent of their training, and earn supplemental income.

“Our mission is to improve people’s lives by bringing greater humanity to healthcare, and we are thrilled to partner with Bright Health to extend hands-on clinical care into the homes of those who need it most,” said Dan Trigub, CEO and co-founder of MedArrive. “In less than a month of working together, we have already seen the tremendous impact this partnership has in addressing health disparities – and we’re only getting started.”

Within the first few months of the program, more than 420 visits have been scheduled and over 230 in-person visits have already been conducted.

“Bright Health’s partnership with MedArrive is critical to executing on our ability to bring an integrated system of care to local communities. Bright Health believes we must meet our members where they are, bringing providers to our members’ doorsteps and reducing barriers to access, while driving better outcomes. Access to high-quality, affordable healthcare is at the core of Bright Health’s mission, and we believe MedArrive’s services fit well within our integrated model,” said Patrick Mobley, Bright HealthCare president.
