In June 2021, MVP Health Care entered into a strategic partnership with the University of Vermont Health Network (UVMHN). The academic health system joined with MVP to develop a novel Medicare Advantage (MA) product called the UVM Health Advantage.
Building a partnership on shared values, joint leadership, and proprietary research, both MVP and UVMHN succeeded in better identifying customer needs and improving product offerings while delivering a highly customer-centric MA product to the market.
Provider organizations and insurers have different operating models and skill sets. For many health systems, building mutually beneficial strategic partnerships remains a top external challenge.
The Challenge
Provider organizations and insurers have different operating models and skill sets. For many health systems, building mutually beneficial strategic partnerships remains a top external challenge.
The Solution
MVP Health Care offers strategic partnership opportunities for payers and providers built on aligned values, product co-creation, and shared leadership.
The University of Vermont Health Network is an academic health system comprising six affiliate hospitals, a multi-specialty medical group, and a home health agency. MVP worked directly with UVMHN to identify the specific needs of local customers and build out a Medicare Advantage product tailored to these needs. The result is UVM Health Advantage, a successful proof of concept built around the needs of UVMHN’s Diabetes and Congestive Heart Failure patients.
The strategic partnership between MVP and UVMHN
is built on three key pillars:
“MVP, we are on a mission to rearchitect health care by fostering high-impact partnerships with like-minded customer-centric organizations. We pride ourselves on our ability to offer customers a unique, personalized approach to health care through Launch + Grow by MVP, “said MVP Health Care’s President and CEO, Chris Del Vecchio. “, We are committed to continuously listening to health care consumers and working with our partners to blend our knowledge and design innovative solutions to meet and satisfy customer needs.”
