For today’s Medicaid populations, gaining access to the right care is challenging. The current system doesn’t address issues that affect members, like poverty, limited access to care & lack of care coordination. It all results in care that’s reactive, fragmented & expensive.

OUR SOLUTION
A Platform Designed Expressly
for Medicaid Populations.
Different populations engage with health care in different ways. You can’t simply apply what works in Medicare & Commercial to Medicaid. You have to encourage Medicaid populations to become engaged in their own health. Leveraging our experience working with inner-city Medicaid populations, the Ampersand Health Solutions Platform activates members where they live, learn, work & worship.
OUR
PARTNERSHIPS
We Connect People & Ideas.
As our name denotes, Ampersand Health is a connector. We form partnerships with Medicaid health plans, local health systems & align providers to address health disparities.
Working alongside our partners, we:
- Lower medical costs
- Develop alternatives to the emergency room
- Close gaps in care
- Contract to capture the value created
OUR PEOPLE
Delivering Care in the Community.
We’re able to address social determinants of health, activate care & close the gaps in care by meeting members where they are — not merely where providers are. Our teams are able to activate care because they are part of the community. It all leads to better engagement, better care coordination & better health for members.
OUR TECHNOLOGY
It’s Scalable. It’s Seamless.
It’s a Game-Changer.
Our technology approach connects information from the state, health plans & physician offices, providing a seamless stream of data that leads to actionable insights & smarter health care decisions.
THE OUTCOME
A Winning Formula for Health Care Organizations Working in Medicaid-Centric Environments.
Connectivity
We connect hospitals, physicians & health plans with data & technology to better serve Medicaid members.
Capacity
We build & operate urgent & complex care clinics to enhance inner-city access & capacity.
Engagement

We’re focused on building a new platform that brings it all together.
The ampersand. It’s simple. It’s powerful. It’s a workhorse. It’s a symbol we rely on each & every day. To connect ideas. To unite resources. To align challenges, solutions & people. That’s exactly what we’re doing at Ampersand Health. Our purpose is clear. We want to improve the health of vulnerable populations by being effective rather than merely disruptive.
