New MVP Health Care Offering Seeks to Smooth Access for Dual Eligibles

After a long history of serving Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries in New York State, Schenectady, N.Y.-based MVP Health Care in 2022 launched a Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) through a joint venture with Belong Health, which specializes in in helping regional payers launch MA and SNP products. This month, the insurer expanded its duals portfolio with a new integrated product and extended its managed Medicaid service area to eight New York counties.

Effective July 1, MVP’s Medicaid and Medicaid-adjacent plans for adults and children who don’t qualify for Medicaid became available in Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Hamilton, Herkimer, Montgomery and St. Lawrence counties. Enrollees in these areas will also be able to access virtual primary and specialty care through digital health company Galileo.
