The new company, which was incorporated in February, will be placed under the UMass Memorial Health Ventures umbrella, a non-hospital arm of the health system, according to the Worcester Business Journal.

In documents filed with the secretary of state, UMass Memorial Health CEO Eric Dickson, MD, said Central Mass Health will facilitate care through managed care programs, health maintenance organizations and alternative healthcare delivery programs.

To date, there are less than a dozen operating payers in Massachusetts. The UMass Memorial system has over 14,000 employees and donates $200 million to UMass Medical School annually, the article said.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
