MIRAMAR, Florida—Integrated Home Care Services, an in-home benefit manager, announced its acquisition of Dina Care, an AI-enabled care coordination and referral management platform.
The companies aim to create the first comprehensive in-home benefit management and technology platform capable of meeting all health plans and risk-bearing organizations where they are on their care-in-the-home benefit transformation journey. The combined platform immediately supports:
- The full array of in-home service categories: Home health, personal care, long-term services and supports (LTSS), durable medical equipment and supplies (DME), home infusion, private duty nursing and other home-based services.
- All major lines of business and populations: Managed Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, ACA Marketplace, special needs plans, commercia, self-insured plan sponsors and others.
- Flexible operating models: Supporting organizations at every stage of their in-home benefit and care transformation journey from a technology-platform solution that supercharges their internal care and network teams to fully delegated benefit management and hybrid models for organizations in between.
- AI-enabled operational capabilities: Advanced automation, digital workforce tools and experienced homecare specialists working together to improve outcomes, coordination and administrative simplicity.
- National engagements: Serving millions of members nationwide stemming from more than 20 states with national capabilities and proven results at scale.
As part of the transaction, Ashish V. Shah, founder and CEO of Dina, will join Integrated as chief product and technology officer, where he will lead product strategy, technology innovation and the company's AI-driven platform initiatives.
"The future of healthcare will increasingly be built in the home, but the operational infrastructure supporting in-home care has lagged far behind the complexity and scale of modern healthcare," said Shah. "By combining Integrated's deep, value-based in-home benefit management expertise with Dina's AI-enabled technology platform, we have a unique opportunity to serve as the industry's benefit management infrastructure layer—improving outcomes, coordination, and experience for patients, providers and health plans alike."
