We are thrilled to announce that our CEO, Scott Schnell, has been featured in Healthcare Business Today with his insightful article, "How a Community-Based Model that Transforms Lives Can Transform Medicaid’s Outlook for 2025."
In the article, Scott outlines MedZed’s innovative "Three-C Strategy"—Care, Community, and Cost—and how it addresses Medicaid’s most pressing challenges. Backed by proven results, this model is designed to improve health outcomes for vulnerable populations while significantly reducing costs for the healthcare system.
The impact speaks for itself:
40% enrollment rate among referred members, demonstrating our ability to connect with even the hardest-to-reach individuals.
38% reduction in emergency department visits, reducing the burden on overstretched healthcare systems.
54% decrease in inpatient admissions, ensuring members receive the right care in the right setting.
54% decrease in total medical costs, proving the financial sustainability of community-based care.
The article highlights how MedZed’s locally driven, high-touch care model is reimagining Medicaid by addressing the root causes of health inequities—like housing instability, food insecurity, and transportation challenges—and empowering individuals to take ownership of their health.
Scott credits much of this success to MedZed’s Community Health Navigators (CHNs), who are hired directly from the neighborhoods they serve. These dedicated individuals build trust, connect members with vital resources, and navigate complex healthcare systems, ensuring no one falls through the cracks.
Being featured in Healthcare Business Today underscores MedZed’s leadership in driving meaningful change in healthcare. As Scott shares, “The challenges facing Medicaid are daunting, but by focusing on proactive, community-driven care, we can transform lives while reducing costs. It’s a model that works—and it’s a blueprint for the future.”
