Included Health to offer Carrum specialty care for alternative plan members
Carrum’s Centers of Excellence network for specialty care will be embedded directly into Included Health’s Alternative Health Plan to help connect members to high-quality specialty care with more predictable costs.
Carrum Health, a value-based Centers of Excellence provider, has partnered with Included Health, a virtual care and health navigation company. The collaboration aims to integrate Carrum's specialty care network into Included Health's Alternative Health Plan. This integration will enable employers to offer their employees high-quality specialty care with predictable costs and streamlined contracting.
The partnership will connect plan design, navigation, and value-based care into a single experience, addressing the rising healthcare costs that specialty care often contributes to. Since 2023, the U.S. has experienced the highest three-year stretch of healthcare cost growth in over a decade. The collaboration will provide employers and their members access to top-quality treatment centers nationwide with significant cost savings compared to traditional insurance plans.
Included Health's chief health officer, Ami Parekh, M.D., stated that the partnership will help members receive high-quality care sooner and with clear guidance and costs. Matthew Eurey, Carrum's chief commercial officer, emphasized that the partnership will offer employers a comprehensive solution to manage primary and specialty care from the beginning, reducing the number of employees navigating complex healthcare situations alone.
