Health plans are acutely aware that they are measured and graded on quality, experience and health equity more so than ever before. Their biggest challenge is to impact those areas directly.

ReferWell helps health plans advance health equity by scheduling underserved members for the care they need, be it medical, care gap appointments or — through your community partnerships — appointments for transportation assistance, nutritional counseling, mental health services and other community-based organization offerings.

Data shows that ReferWell’s solution directly impacts the members who need it most.

ReferWell care navigators find the Perfect Match right at the referable moment (when the member is leaning into their care) and schedule the member while on the phone. It’s a proven process that provides better access, experience and outcomes for members, and better quality performance, which affects the health plan’s bottom line.
