axialHealthcare connects patients, providers, and health plans with an end-to-end platform that covers the entire substance use spectrum. Their high-tech, high-touch approach mends fractured ecosystems, identifies at-risk patients, and provides timely, interactive tools for clinical decision-making. For patients with substance use disorder, we offer a clear path with continuity of care.
Highmark has collaborated with axialHealthcare to offer a wide range of tools and resources to providers in Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York, and West Virginia that aim to support the health and safety of patients on opioids and other controlled substances.
These resources are supported by our Clinical Consult Services (CCS) team of clinical pharmacists, nurse practitioners, and engagement specialists. The CCS team’s goal is to support you in the treatment of complex patients by applying their clinical expertise, offering detailed patient intelligence, and identifying care coordination opportunities and other relevant evidence-based solutions to support optimal patient health outcomes.
In December 2020, axialHealthcare launched care navigation and peer support services for Highmark’s commercial risk, Medicare Advantage and Affordable Care Act members seeking treatment for substance use in Pennsylvania.
The program uses Pennsylvania-based clinicians and peer support from individuals in recovery to help members find and stay in treatment. Providing each member in need with a dedicated team, the program works alongside select treatment providers to help coordinate care during critical transitions, connects members to social resources, and ultimately provides the dedicated, long-term support essential to sustained recovery.
This program comes at no cost to members or participating providers.
