Sendero Health Plans becomes first Austin area affordable care act health plan to waive cost-sharing for COVID-19 treatment

AUSTIN, Texas, April 1, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Sendero Health Plans, the community-based non-profit health maintenance organization serving the Austin-area, announced today that the company’s Board of Directors voted to waive all costs to its members for treatment of COVID-19 with in-network providers.

<img id="prnejpg9160left" title="Sendero Health Plans, the…

Sendero Health Plans, the non-profit community health plan based in Austin, Texas, has waived all cost-sharing for the treatment of COVID-19 for its members.

The move makes Sendero the first area affordable care act health plan to waive cost-sharing for treatment and comes as the company also recently waived copayments for in-network doctor visits and lab costs to screen for the disease.

«As a community health plan, Sendero does everything we can to ensure our members get the quality care they need,» said Wesley Durkalski, president and CEO of Sendero Health Plans. «We have eliminated cost sharing for COVID-19 testing and treatment and are working with members with income changes to help them stay covered. We are helping our members get connected with resources we have, not just for care but for all basic daily needs. We are very happy to offer this to members at a time when there is significant stress over not just household physical and mental health, but household financial health as well.»

In early March, Sendero redeployed staff to conduct outreach calls to over 10 percent of its membership, including all members most at risk of being impacted by this crisis. This included more than 500 low income, high acuity, former uninsured in Central Health’s Medical Access Program (MAP) members now insured with Sendero. Calls emphasized personal safety, Sendero’s extensive telehealth services and ensuring member access to resources for basic needs.

Sendero has taken other specific steps in addition to eliminating costs for detection and treatment to assist its members and work with its provider network in response to the COVID-19 crisis including:

Providing free prescription delivery through larger pharmacies.
Allowing early refills for maintenance medications.
Extending provider claims submission deadlines.
Working with providers to expand telemedicine and help ensure capacity for care.

«We want our members to focus on the health and well-being of themselves and their families and know that their community health plan is here to help,» said Durkalski. «We are dedicated to keeping our members and their families healthy.»

Health care coverage typically includes member cost sharing which are costs directly paid by member to help lower the monthly costs of premium. This includes copays, deductibles, and cost sharing. Copays are fixed amounts that members pay to providers in addition to amounts paid by the insurer. Deductibles are certain dollar amounts for care that must be paid by the customer first before the insurer can assume payment. Cost sharing is a split of provider costs between the insurance company and the customer and can represent 70 percent / 30 percent with the insurance company paying the larger portion of health care costs until an annual maximum is reached for the member.

Sendero’s move eliminates the aforementioned costs for its members for the treatment of COVID-19 and will remain in place until further notice.

Formed in 2011, Sendero Health Plans, Inc. is a community-based nonprofit Health Maintenance Organization supported by the Travis County Health District, known as Central Health, dedicated to improving the health of the community by providing affordable, quality healthcare coverage, especially for Travis County residents with low income. Sendero offers its IdealCare and SelectCare plans on the Federal Health Insurance Marketplace.

ARLINGTON, Va., April 1, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, March of Dimes, the nation’s leader in the fight for the health of all moms and babies, is unveiling a number of services and resources at no cost for expecting and new mothers, to provide the advice and support they need as the country strives to combat the spread of COVID-19. As society adjusts to new public health guidelines, pregnant women and new mothers are confronting a unique challenge: how do they best prepare for child…

«The onset of COVID-19 and the effect it is having on families around the world is truly devastating,» said Stacey D. Stewart, President and CEO of March of Dimes. «We are concerned about pregnant women and babies who may be at risk of becoming sick during this pandemic and are here to support them with critical resources and free services to meet their current and future needs.»

From health education to raising funds to support COVID-19 vaccine and treatment research to critical support to NICU parents, March of Dimes offers a variety of programs to support moms and babies during the pandemic. The organization is also actively working to build partnerships with third party providers that are helping moms and babies. Specifically, these programs include:

Virtual Support for NICU Parents with NICU Family Support®: March of Dimes is offering a virtual NICU Family Support (NFS) program with its hospital partners, to provide education and support to NICU parents through a digital platform in hospitals across the country. This ensures families can still receive the support and education they need, while maintaining hospital protocols for infection control. Additionally, we are maintaining our free educational resources for staff within our NFS partner hospitals, which includes a session on caregiver self-care.
COVID-19 Updates for Moms and Families with the My NICU Baby® App: March of Dimes’ My NICU Baby® app provides information about COVID-19 relevant to families with a child in the NICU.

The primary focus of the program is to engage participants in dialogue to foster peer-to-peer learning and support. These group sessions are intended to complement but not supplement medical care; however, participants will have access to Becoming a Mom Online resources, to help expecting mothers prepare for pregnancy. March of Dimes is also planning a pilot with a telehealth provider focused on on-demand support for moms and babies.
Support Research for a COVID-19 Vaccine and Treatment with the Mom and Baby COVID-19 Intervention and Support Fund: March of Dimes recently launched the Mom and Baby COVID-19 Intervention and Support Fund that will provide funds to support research for necessary interventions to prevent or treat COVID-19, advocate on behalf of moms and babies on this issue and educate the public about precautionary measures.
Provide Food to Hospital NICU Staff: March of Dimes delivers food and snacks to NICU staff to support them as they work on the frontlines on this pandemic.

«While social distancing and self-quarantining are essential to flatten the curve in this pandemic, these policies impact the health and wellbeing of moms and babies,» added Dr. Rahul Gupta, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical and Health Officer at March of Dimes. «That’s why March of Dimes is offering free virtual support services, including group support for expecting moms, critical information for NICU parents, and informative live conversations with maternal and child health experts.

Texas State Optical anuncia su preparación operativa frente al COVID-19

HOUSTON, 1 de abril de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — TSO, Inc., una cooperativa de propiedad de sus miembros que cuenta con más de 120 locales en todo Texas y Luisiana, anunció que, a partir del 30 de marzo de 2020, aproximadamente el 60 por ciento de sus ubicaciones estaban abiertas y contaban con personal. La mayoría de los locales no están realizando exámenes de la vista de rutina, pero sí están disponibles para tratar emergencias oculares y proporcionar a las…

La oficina corporativa de TSO Network comenzó a comunicarse con los miembros el 16 de marzo de 2020, antes de que la mayoría de los condados de Texas que contienen las principales áreas metropolitanas hubieran emitido órdenes a las personas de refugiarse en el lugar donde se encuentran.

«Era importante que la oficina corporativa de TSO Network hiciera todo lo posible para preparar a nuestros miembros y a sus pacientes sobre cómo manejaríamos una crisis en expansión», dijo John D. Marvin, presidente. «Proporcionamos a nuestros miembros herramientas de redes sociales, plantillas para enviar correos electrónicos y directrices de los CDC para ayudarles a comunicarse con sus pacientes y asegurarles que era seguro cumplir con sus citas».

A medida que el virus se propagó por todo Estados Unidos y las áreas metropolitanas comenzaron a emitir órdenes de refugiarse en su lugar, la prioridad de la oficina corporativa del TSO cambió.

«Empezamos a ayudar a los miembros a acceder a los programas del gobierno y a la información que les ayudaría a afrontar los retos de pagar la nómina y pagar los alquileres. Se realizó un seminario web en vivo con la participación de casi el 100 por ciento de nuestros miembros para abordar estos dos importantes temas financieros», dijo el Dr. Reid Robertson, presidente de la junta directiva.

El seminario web incluyó presentaciones del presidente de la junta directiva de TSO, el Dr. Reid Robertson de Allen, Texas; el Dr. Mark Wright, redactor profesional de la revista Optometric Business y miembro de la junta de TSO, Inc.; la abogada Veronica Rossitto; y John D. Marvin, presidente de TSO.

Este seminario web fue seguido de una serie de documentos de orientación legal sobre cuestiones como las relaciones con los dueños de locales, las obligaciones de arrendamiento, los cambios en la compensación por desempleo, la ley de respuesta al coronavirus conocida como la Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) y la ley CARES Act. Estos memorandos proporcionaron a los miembros de TSO la información que necesitan para entender sus obligaciones con los empleados y cómo pueden acceder a los beneficios de los programas del gobierno federal incluidos para asistir económicamente a las pequeñas empresas.

Todos los memorandos de orientación legal, los enlaces de orientación financiera pertinentes, las plantillas de muestra para la correspondencia con pacientes y proveedores y los avisos grabados se encuentran en la exclusiva sección de Centro de Recursos COVID-19 en la intranet interna del sitio web de TSO. Este centro de recursos se actualiza diariamente con la más reciente información. La intranet también incluye una función recientemente incorporada en la que los miembros de TSO pueden enviar preguntas relacionadas con cuestiones legales y contables. TSO, Inc. proporciona respuestas y consejos legales y financieros utilizando firmas de abogados y contadores públicos asociados.

«Nuestra prioridad es asegurarnos de que cada uno de nuestros miembros y sus empleados puedan navegar con éxito esta desafiante crisis. Estamos enfocados como un rayo láser. Tenemos excelentes ópticos, recepcionistas, técnicos oftálmicos y personal de laboratorio que se enfrentan a graves problemas económicos, sin que sea culpa suya o de la compañía para la que trabajan. Debemos asegurarnos de que los locales de Texas State Optical, sus propietarios y su personal tengan todo lo que necesitan para sobrevivir económicamente lo que probablemente será un tiempo prolongado de bajos o nulos ingresos», dijo Marvin.
