Medicare Advantage company partners with nonprofit health system to deliver high-quality, coordinated care in Clark and Washoe counties
LAS VEGAS, Nev. and ORANGE, Calif., Oct. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alignment Health Plan, an award-winning Medicare Advantage plan from Alignment Health, today announced it is expanding access to high-quality health care and services for its members in Clark and Washoe counties through a new agreement with Intermountain Health. Effective Jan. 1, 2025, the agreement will provide Alignment's Nevada members access to more than 65 clinic locations in the Silver State, 35 of which are award-winning senior primary care clinics.
"Joining forces with Intermountain Health, one of the largest nonprofit health systems in the mountain states, is an exciting step forward for Alignment Health Plan and the Nevada communities we serve,” said Dawn Maroney, CEO of Alignment Health Plan and president, markets of the plan's parent company, Alignment Health. "With nearly a third of Nevadans aged 65 and older living in Clark and Washoe counties, this partnership gives our members access to the high-quality care that Intermountain is known for, alongside the innovative benefits and exceptional member experience that define Alignment.”
Medicare-eligible residents of Clark and Washoe counties who enroll with Alignment during the annual enrollment period, Oct. 15- Dec. 7, can benefit from all of Intermountain services, including primary, specialty and urgent care services starting Jan. 1, 2025. In those counties, Alignment is offering four HMO options, including a special needs plan for members with qualifying chronic heart conditions and diabetes, a special needs plan for members enrolled in both Medicare and Medicaid, and its Platinum + Instacart (HMO) plan, which earned a 5-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in 2024. Every year, CMS evaluates plans based on a 5-star rating, with 5 stars representing "excellent” performance. Star ratings for the 2025 plan year are expected to be announced in mid-October.
Intermountain Health is a nonprofit health system of 33 hospitals and 385 clinics located in six mountain-region states. Recently, nine of its physicians were named to the Desert Companion's 2024 Top Doctors of Nevada list in recognition of their service to their patients and community.
