MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NeueHealth, the rapidly growing care delivery and provider enablement business of Bright Health Group (NYSE: BHG), is expanding access to care through new and existing relationships with external payors and affiliate provider groups next year. It plans to open at least 25 new clinics across three states including Florida, Texas, and North Carolina, bringing its total owned clinic footprint to over 70 in early 2022.
In addition, NeueHealth intends to bring its alignment model to several new markets in 2023 to support the growing demand from its strategic payor partners.
“NeueHealth has demonstrated remarkable growth and strong performance as we continue to expand in new geographies with our partners,” said Sam Srivastava, CEO of NeueHealth. “Our model integrates payors and providers clinically, financially, and through data and technology, demonstrating a significant reduction in medical costs with better outcomes. We are proud to bring differentiated value to our patients, providers, and the communities we serve.”
NeueHealth is also expanding its current risk-bearing care delivery services for seniors beyond Medicare Advantage through its expected participation in the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation’s Direct Contracting program starting January 1, 2022.
Combining growth from Bright HealthCare, external payors, and Direct Contracting, NeueHealth now expects to generate approximately $2 billion in Revenue in 2022 with a meaningful contribution from external payor relationships.
“The shift of patients and providers from fee-for-service to value-based models is fueling NeueHealth’s rapid growth,” said Mike Mikan, Bright Health Group President and CEO. “We believe NeueHealth is well positioned to capture this trend, enabling it to continue providing diversification, differentiation, and capital efficient growth into the future.”
