Social Determinants of Health (SDoH)

Integrating Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) into Financial Management Services (FMS) — giving MCOs, states, and payers a powerful way to drive better health outcomes, reduce costs, and meet value-based care goals.

Self-direction empowers individuals to manage their care. Adding SDoH screening address barriers like housing, food, and transportation – improving health equity and outcomes.

Improved Outcomes:
Early action reduces hospitalizations and supports long-term wellness.

Reimbursement Ready:
Enables funding for screening and coordination activities.

Value-Based Alignment:
Supports Medicaid and MCO preventive care models.
