Amid Grief and Depression, a Supportive Connection Helped Him Move ForwardRonnie’s depression started after the death of his son — a loss deepened by financial difficulties that left him without enough money for a burial and at risk of losing his home.

How A Whole-Health Approach Drives Affordability
If you worry about losing your home or lack access to consistent transportation, caring for your health becomes a challenge. When not addressed, these kinds of concerns quickly drive up healthcare costs by as much as $1,500 per year.* They are also highly associated with anxiety and depression, emergency department use, preventable hospitalization and more unhealthy days. We are widening the scope of health and how the health system behaves. When both work in collaboration, we can improve outcomes.

A Whole Health Story
The Role of a Health Plan
A cancer diagnosis. A mental health crisis. An unexpected health concern during pregnancy. In partnership with care providers, health plans strive to simplify the healthcare experience, personalize care, improve quality, and work with community organizations to improve health outcomes.
The traditional approach to healthcare has revolved around the medical and physical aspects of health. Measurements such as weight and blood pressure shaped healthcare decisions. Health plans primarily focused on helping people access and pay for their healthcare, and advocated for affordability, quality and safety. Today’s health plans have built upon that important foundation to include even better preventive care support, assistance in managing chronic disease, and integrating behavioral health.
