PHILADELPHIA, PA — Vitable Health has joined forces with Mishe Health, a trailblazer in the healthcare technology industry. This strategic partnership, announced in Philadelphia, seeks to bridge the healthcare gap for the underserved populations of the city, marking a significant milestone in health equity.
Vitable Health, known for its primary care program designed to address the healthcare needs of Philadelphia citizens, will now leverage Mishe’s extensive network of pre-vetted specialty care providers. With this collaboration, Vitable Health members can now access high-quality specialty care at transparent, discounted rates.
The timing of this partnership couldn’t be more crucial, as many Philadelphians have lost their Medicaid coverage due to changes in post-pandemic programs. The partnership therefore serves as a beacon of hope for uninsured and underinsured individuals who often find themselves caught in a healthcare chasm when specialist care is required.
Joseph Kitonga, CEO of Vitable Health, voiced his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “We are excited to build a stronger ecosystem together with a great partner like Mishe. Our mission to increase access to delightful, affordable healthcare to all people continues.”
Vitable Health’s commitment to the 43% of underinsured and uninsured workers in the U.S. remains unwavering. The company aids employers in providing exceptional health benefits to their employees while actively reducing healthcare costs. With the integration of Vitable’s new Specialist Care Navigation, powered by Mishe, Vitable Health can now offer comprehensive care – from essential primary and preventative care services to affordable specialist care with flexible payment schedules.
Echoing the excitement, Mishe’s CEO, Sidney Haitoff, stated, “This expansion ensures that patients can access high-value specialty care without the burden of exorbitant costs or surprises, fostering a healthier and more inclusive community, powered by Mishe. We’re proud to align with partners like Vitable Health on a joint mission to simplify healthcare and expand access.”
Mishe Health, founded by a biller, doctor, and patient frustrated with the traditional fully-insured system, had previously collaborated with WebMD to launch its network and payment solutions to the uninsured and underinsured residents of the New York metro area in August 2023. Now, Mishe turns its focus to Philadelphia, where it’s poised to make a significant impact.
This partnership between Vitable Health and Mishe Health aims to transform the healthcare landscape. Their shared vision of creating a healthcare ecosystem that prioritizes accessibility, affordability, and excellence in care promises a brighter future for patients, reinforcing the belief that healthcare is not just a privilege but a fundamental right for all.
