The special benefits allow WellCare to specifically address social determinants of health, according to the Nov. 8 announcement.
Most notably, the benefits include a “robotic companion pet” that combats symptoms of depression and cognitive decline. The benefit leverages fundamental pet therapy but cuts out the costs associated with owning a live animal.
Benefits also include a flex card to use monthly on utility bills, credits for in-home support — including meal delivery, help with errands or pest control — and grocery or service animal support through a partnership with Shipt.
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.
