Better outcomes begin with the Next Best Step.
By meeting the basic needs of our members, we build trust. By doing it week after week, we build consistency. By combining trust with Care Navigation, we inspire members to take the Next Best Step, like visiting a PCP, refilling a prescription, etc.
When your members win, your plan wins. Better health for your hardest-to-reach members cascades into everything you're measured on: lower total cost of care, higher Star Ratings and quality bonus revenue, closed HEDIS and care gaps, more accurate risk adjustment, and members who stay.
How it works
Identify the right population.
We’ll work with you to pinpoint the patients who are most likely to benefit, and the Next Best Steps that are most likely to improve their outcomes.
Grow trust.
Weekly grocery deliveries build the foundation for trust and regular engagement. Bento Health members greatly value the service because it’s easy, convenient, and high-quality. There’s no app download, tons of choice, and great customer service.
Close the gaps.
Our Care Navigators lead members to take the Next Best Step: schedule an annual well visit, get lab work, refill a prescription, etc.
Measure results.
We build each program around your goals, and the Next Best Step that you want to incentivize. Is it a PCP visit? A blood glucose monitor? A cancer screening? We tailor each program based on the outcomes we know we can deliver.
