Dartmouth-Hitchcock, Elliot Health System, Harvard Pilgrim Partner to Offer Health Plan

Two New England health systems and a health insurer have joined forces to create ElevateHealth — a nonprofit, defined-network health plan for employers and employees in New Hampshire.

Lebanon, N.H.-based Dartmouth-Hitchcock, Manchester, N.H.-based Elliot Health System and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care of New England created the new insurance plan to promote high-quality care and better outcomes for lower premiums, according to a news release.

ElevateHealth will begin providing coverage Dec. 1 and will feature enhanced provider-driven care coordination and care coordination professional guides for enrollees. The health plan will also involve nurses as patient advocates and clinical liaisons with primary care providers and specialists, according to the release. The health systems expect their contracting arrangement and focus on care coordination will allow for lower premium costs.
