CRBG PARTNERS WITH EHG

Compass Rose Benefits Group (CRBG) has partnered with Engaged Health Group (EHG) to provide resources and clinical support to the Living Well program. EHG is a new organization that brings decades of experience in nursing and care management. The Engaged Health team shares CRBS's vision to assist you in achieving your Living Well goals.

EHG SELECTED AS A PREFERRED VENDOR BY CAREFIRST ADMINISTRATORS

Engaged Health Group (EHG) has announced a preferred vendor agreement with CFA, LLC(CFA) for EHG to provide its full scope of services to the clients of CFA. These EHG services include its Population Health Management and URAC accredited Health Utilization Management offerings, all of which are delivered through its new, fully integrated proprietary member management platform (HELMSS) and a consumer-friendly mobile app and web portal. 

EHG offers a holistic approach to population health management that involves supporting the members across the continuum of care from high risk through lifestyle support, not just managing a specific condition(s). To support this approach, EHG utilizes a data-driven process that helps to risk stratify the client population and develop strategies that address the specific needs of an individual member and the population as a whole - at all risk levels. To ensure that the specific needs of each client population are met, EHG assigns a dedicated Anchor Nurse to the population. These Anchor Nurses are registered nurses with a certificate in wellness whose role is to take ownership and responsibility for the health of their population while building personal relationships directly with the members, the communities, and the employers. 

Through this agreement, CFA will now offer the EHG services as an option for all clients, without the need for any separate contracting. This agreement between the two organizations includes an integration of CFA's data into the HELMSS application for any new EHG client implementations. 

*As a management team, we are all extremely excited to have the opportunity to again work with the clients of CFA, "said Dr. Mary Ellen Gervais, President of EHG. "We look forward to helping them improve their members' quality of care and quality of life while lowering healthcare costs for both the members and the employer."

“Jon brings a commitment to the same values EHG has and will be a tremendous addition to our team,” said Mary Ellen Gervais, President of EHG. He believes in making all interactions with the individuals we serve meaningful and focused on ensuring the best care is in place to help them succeed in achieving their health goals. He understands that making sure people get what they need in terms of timely, quality care will result not only in improved or stable health but also in lower overall costs of care. He also brings significant experience in the use of data in guiding the best care and providing our clinicians with information on the impact of their interventions."

Dr. Hupp commented, “I am very excited to be joining a team that has such a strong track record of delivering high level service and value to their clients and members.
