Finding a perfect match can be difficult, but sometimes things just click. That’s the case with IC System and Genomind.

Genomind, a company utilizing genetics as a data point in diagnosing mental health challenges, wanted a recovery agency that, instead of aggressively going after those who hadn’t yet paid for the services provided, would take a tactful approach.

“We didn’t set any goals other than we didn’t want patients to be upset and didn’t want them to call the doctors and upset the doctors, which would cascade into them calling our sales reps,” said Thomas Hess, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Genomind. “We had zero expectations for collections. Our goal was just not to upset people.”

Genomind had chatted with other companies in the same space as IC System and ran a pilot with IC once Hess found the IC System website and was impressed with the transparency, family-oriented nature of the business and site design.

Rather than simply not upsetting people, Genomind found a success rate that far outpaced their goals, leading to millions of dollars added in revenue and recovery.

Genomind was an ideal client for IC System, said Bryan Campbell, Business Development Manager, since IC System is always happy to modify its approach and work with each client on an individual basis.

The partnership looked a bit different during the pandemic, but the companies were able to come together using virtual meeting platforms to make sure everyone was reaching their goals.

“Everybody’s doing the same thing, but we at IC System, from a sales standpoint, say that everybody is operating at the same way. You’ve got to do it better,” he said. “You have to build those relationships and make sure those carry through in a new way and stronger way.

“We just got after that. They were real treats to able to get on, to use the new technology and depend on it rather than just being on the phone. It’s like we haven’t missed a beat.”

Why MVP wants to push fresher care-gap data into EMRs

Why MVP wants to push fresher care-gap data into EMRs

MVP Health Care, a nonprofit insurer in New York and Vermont, built Arcadia-based provider dashboards that combine ADT alerts, care gaps, utilization and pharmacy data. Timing drives the design. Its next step, delivering care gaps inside provider EMRs, should move fastest with practices that already exchange data through Arcadia.

  • 01For a quality measure on a seven-day clock, a payer report that runs a few months behind arrives after the deadline it was meant to help with.
  • 02The quickest EMR integrations for a regional payer are likely with practices already sharing data on the same platform through Medicare ACOs or other payers. Practices new to that kind of exchange need trust built in both directions first.
  • 03A useful test for any payer’s provider analytics: does a service completed last week drop off the care-gap list, or does the practice still call the patient again?

Humana's $2.8B BlackRock deal lets it buy back CenterWell clinics starting in 2028

Humana's $2.8B BlackRock deal lets it buy back CenterWell clinics starting in 2028

BlackRock's $2.8 billion buys majority ownership of a joint venture holding about 150 CenterWell clinics, replacing WCAS as Humana's outside investor. CenterWell keeps a minority stake and keeps running the clinics. The terms set a timeline: two years of expected growth spending, an option for Humana to buy clinics back from 2028, and a BlackRock right to start a sale of any clinics still in the venture at the end of 2033, with CenterWell getting the first offer. The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter, subject to regulatory approvals.

  • 01BlackRock's $2.8 billion buys majority ownership of about 150 CenterWell clinics, while Humana keeps day-to-day management and an option to repurchase clinics starting in 2028.
  • 02The 2028 buyback and 2033 sale terms apply to the roughly 150 clinics in the new joint venture. CenterWell Senior Primary Care runs 250 clinics in total.
  • 03The deal’s lower-cost-of-capital claim will be tested after closing—first by how the venture deploys new capital over the next two years to support clinics, open locations and pursue acquisitions, and then by Humana’s 2028 decision on whether to start buying clinics back.

Healthcare AI should give doctors attention back, not shorter visits

Healthcare AI should give doctors attention back, not shorter visits

Healthcare organizations should deploy AI to give clinicians back attention and capacity for better decisions, not simply shorten visits. Landry argues AI should fit into existing workflows with insights appearing at the right time, and that organizations should set clear governance and automation boundaries before deployment and measure what changes for patients, clinicians and the organization.

  • 01AI success in healthcare should expand clinician capacity for thoughtful care, not optimize for visit speed; a three-minute appointment is not patient-centered innovation.
  • 02Design AI into workflows clinicians already use with insights appearing at the right moment, making adoption a workflow problem rather than a training problem.
  • 03Set automation boundaries before deploying AI, specifying what it may do alone, what it recommends for clinician decision-making, and what requires explicit human control and accountability.
