Kissito Post Acute, a division of Kissito Healthcare, is proud to announce a new relationship with MHealth and Tricare. These two new plans add to the growing list of Managed Care Plans currently accepted at its flagship facility, Kissito Post Acute Cane Island, which include, but are not limited to, BCBS, UHC, Humana, USFH&P, Aetna, and Cigna.

Mhealth, a plan developed by Kissito Post Acute’s collaborative hospital partner, Memorial Hermann Healthcare System in Houston, Texas is one of several ongoing projects between Kissito Post Acute and Memorial Hermann aimed at reducing costs and preserving benefits while enhancing patient outcomes. Rob Turner, Director of ACO Integration states, “We expect great things from this partnership and are honored to participate in this plan.”

Tricare is a plan afforded to Military Retirees and their families. Having several employees on the management team who are Veterans, Kissito is excited to be a part of the lives of those who have served this great nation and with great appreciation is ready to meet their healthcare needs.

The addition of these plans comes at the hands of newly appointed Director of ACO Integration, Rob Turner. Recently promoted from Kissito Post Acute Cane Island Facility, Rob is working closely with Physicians, Hospitals, Managed Care Organizations, and Patients in preparation for the establishment of Accountable Care Organizations and the possibility of Bundled Payments. The need for innovation in these areas will be critical with the forthcoming challenges brought on by Healthcare/Insurance Reform.

Given Kissito’s four-tiered approach to healthcare delivery, which establishes collaborative partnerships with Physicians, Payors, Patients, and Hospitals, these new affiliations enable Kissito Post Acute to continue to redefine the road to recovery.
