How It Works

Click on each step to learn about our approach

1. Cluster

Our data team analyzes Medicare and Medicaid sponsors' claims data, employing a proprietary grouping algorithm that produces clusters of members likely to form loyal groups.

2. Engage

Engagement Specialists invite members to meet other neighbors and our local culturally competent staff. They find hard-to-reach members, build trust, address gaps in care and SDoH needs and extend the reach of sponsors' care management teams into every community.

3. Recruit

In every group, Facilitators galvanize able neighbors to serve as community ambassadors who reinforce the community presence that residents know and trust.

4. Deliver

The end result is a flexible network of members who trust one another, the sponsor and their providers. Circle members stay with their sponsor, engage with preventative care and have a better member experience.
