Tango, AmeriHealth Caritas Partner to Increase Homecare Access in Pennsylvania

PHOENIX—Tango, a provider of post-acute care benefit enablement services, announced a partnership with AmeriHealth Caritas, a provider of Medicaid managed care. With this partnership, tango is now facilitating the delivery of skilled home health care to Medicare Advantage Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) members in the state of Pennsylvania.

Company officials said this collaboration will help patients safely recover in the comfort of their own homes while enhancing access to skilled home health care.

“Our goal is to transition patients to a home setting as seamlessly as possible by creating and helping to ensure post-acute care plans that coordinate their unique care needs and focus on enabling the home as a place that supports superior outcomes and quality during the patient’s recovery,” said Brian Lobley, tango CEO.  “Both tango and AmeriHealth Caritas understand that good outcomes happen when patients remain the focus of everything we do. By improving access to home-based care—particularly for Dual Eligible plans—we help ensure timely services, better outcomes and lower costs of care. It’s an important reason this partnership is a win-win.”

Headquartered in Phoenix, tango works with national and regional health plans, including downstream at-risk entities that serve Medicare Advantage, Managed Medicaid and Dual-Eligible populations.

“Tango is a leader in driving positive outcomes across home-based care, and we are excited to partner to help ensure our members have improved access to comprehensive, high-quality skilled home health services, a growing demand across the country,” said Chris McDade, president of Medicare Markets at AmeriHealth Caritas. “Our synergy with tango emphasizes our shared purpose of helping our members live healthier, fuller lives.”
