Warm Health Enters Heart Failure Care Management Partnership with HealthSpring

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Warm Health, a provider of innovative care management communications, is pleased to announce a new partnership with Nashville based HealthSpring. Warm Health will deliver its Heart Failure Care Management Program to HealthSpring’s at-risk Medicare Advantage members by utilizing a suite of automated technology solutions to complement existing HealthSpring member communications approaches.

HealthSpring Heart Failure members will receive personalized calls from Warm Health at a rate that matches their risk level, from one to five times per week. The interactive communications include heart failure education, weight monitoring and questions to assess the members’ need to speak with a HealthSpring care manager. The program began in May 2011 and has been rolled out in four different regions.
