Sutter Health and SCAN Group Announce Strategic Collaboration to Enhance Medicare Advantage Services in Northern California

2025-04-10  |  00:00

NORTHERN CA AND LONG BEACH, CA, UNITED STATES, April 10, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Sutter Health (Sutter), a not-for-profit integrated healthcare system, and SCAN Group (SCAN), a diversified not-for-profit healthcare company, announce a long-term strategic collaboration that will introduce new Medicare Advantage (MA) products in Northern California in 2026 and plans to create a new joint venture* MA health plan in the near future.

The new collaboration between Sutter and SCAN reflects both organizations’ commitment to and focus on innovating care delivery, developing new benefits, and designing highly specialized MA products to meet the growing needs of Medicare-eligible adults. Together, Sutter and SCAN aim to develop new care models integrating technology, preventive health strategies, and comprehensive chronic disease management programs to support healthy aging and help mature adults maintain their independence.

“We want to continue to broaden our reach in Medicare Advantage, offering more innovative, high-quality options to access our care,” said Warner Thomas, President and CEO of Sutter Health. “We value our strategic collaboration with SCAN as it reflects our deep commitment to supporting the health and well-being of our patients and communities.”

MA plans have become an increasingly popular choice among Medicare-eligible individuals seeking integrated care options. Nationally, MA enrollment has jumped from 19% in 2007 to 54% in 2024. In California alone, more than 3.5 million people are enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans, which is about 51% of the state’s Medicare beneficiaries.

The long-term collaboration between Sutter and SCAN reflects both organizations’ commitment to MA and ensuring long-term plan stability for MA members.

“At a time when MA programs are reducing benefits and resources, leaving seniors with fewer options and more barriers to care, SCAN and Sutter are doubling down and taking great strides to expand their networks and preserve nonprofit MA options for seniors,” said Dr. Sachin H. Jain, CEO of SCAN Group and SCAN Health Plan. “As a recognized leader in healthcare delivery, quality, and innovation, Sutter is the ideal partner to help SCAN drive advancements in nonprofit mission-driven healthcare and ensure mature adults receive the quality, accessible and low-cost care they need to remain healthy and independent.”

Collaboration to Introduce New MA Products to Northern California
This fall, Medicare-eligible individuals in select Northern California counties will see new SCAN MA product offerings that provide access to Sutter’s network of award-winning hospitals, doctors, urgent care centers, and other top-rated healthcare services. Enrollees will have a Sutter primary care clinician as their healthcare partner, delivering most of their care and coordinating seamlessly with specialists and other clinicians. In addition, they will benefit from Sutter’s integrated approach to care that includes chronic disease management and digital health initiatives — such as remote patient monitoring, telehealth, and high-tech predictive analytics.

“This collaboration is just the beginning of our efforts to innovate and improve care and experience for our patients with Medicare Advantage,” emphasized Conrad Vial, M.D., SVP and President of Sutter Health Network. “We are excited to collaborate with SCAN to deliver integrated care solutions that address the unique needs of our aging population.”

Sutter and SCAN to Establish New Joint Venture
Building upon the collaboration and innovation in Northern California, Sutter and SCAN also intend to establish a new joint venture MA health plan in the near future. And as the relationship evolves, this new health plan may extend beyond Northern California to benefit a broader Medicare population.

Karen Schulte, SCAN’s President of Medicare added, “By combining the strengths of Sutter and SCAN, we are significantly enhancing our capacity to provide coordinated, high-quality care to MA members in Northern California. This collaboration underscores our deep commitment to the health and well-being of the senior community.”

Sutter and SCAN will share more information on their strategic collaboration and joint venture as initiatives develop.

*The 2026 MA products and joint venture MA health plan are subject to regulatory review and approval

Ze względu na różnice w cenach surowce wtórne przegrywają z pierwotnymi. To powoduje problemy branży recyklingowej

Rozporządzenie PPWR stawia ambitne cele w zakresie wykorzystania recyklatów w poszczególnych rodzajach opakowań. To będzie oznaczało wzrost popytu na materiały wtórne pochodzące z recyklingu. Obecnie problemy branży recyklingu mogą spowodować, że popyt będzie zaspokajany głównie przez import. Dziś do dobrowolnego wykorzystania recyklatów nie zachęcają przede wszystkim ceny – surowiec pierwotny można kupić taniej niż ten z recyklingu.

Rośnie presja konkurencyjna na unijne rolnictwo. Bez rekompensat sytuacja rolników może się pogarszać

Rolnictwo i żywność, w tym rybołówstwo, są sektorami strategicznymi dla UE. System rolno-spożywczy, oparty na jednolitym rynku europejskim, wytwarza ponad 900 mld euro wartości dodanej. Jego konkurencyjność stoi jednak przed wieloma wyzwaniami – to przede wszystkim eksport z Ukrainy i niedługo także z krajów Mercosur, a także presja związana z oczekiwaniami konsumentów i Zielonym Ładem. Bez rekompensat rolnikom może być trudno tym wyzwaniom sprostać.

Infrastruktury ładowania elektryków przybywa w szybkim tempie. Inwestorzy jednak napotykają szereg barier

Liczba punktów ładowania samochodów elektrycznych wynosi dziś ok. 10 tys., a tempo wzrostu wynosi ok. 50 proc. r/r. Dynamika ta przez wiele miesięcy była wyższa niż wyniki samego rynku samochodów elektrycznych, na które w poprzednim roku wpływało zawieszenie rządowych dopłat do zakupu elektryka. Pierwszy kwartał br. zamknął się 22-proc. wzrostem liczby rejestracji w ujęciu rocznym, ale kwiecień przyniósł już wyraźne odbicie – o 100 proc.
