Welcome...
To Affinity
Health Plan’s Making a World of Difference
program website.
 The
mission of Affinity Health Plan is to improve the health
of underserved populations by providing comprehensive,
affordable, high-quality healthcare coverage, and by
striving, in collaboration with its primary care
providers, to improve care-giving and care-seeking.
Affinity Health Plan has two mission-driven goals: to
improve care-giving and care-seeking and to improve the
health of underserved populations. Efforts to achieve
these goals go beyond striving for excellence in our
day-to-day business operations. Affinity’s Making a
World of Difference program engages with others to
advance these goals. We do this in several ways:
-
Grantmaking: To
promote innovation in community health;
-
E-Alliance: To develop and promote new ways to use
technology in our delivery system;
-
Learning & Development: To provide opportunities for our
providers and partners to support life long
learning.
GRANTMAKING:
Affinity’s Grantmaking program will provide funding and
technical assistance to community based organizations,
providers, public health researchers and others -- that
are interested in testing innovative solutions to
complex public health challenges. Competitive applicants
will address one or more of the following objectives:
preventing morbidity and mortality, reducing the burden
of illness, reducing disparities, or improving patient
functioning and outcomes. In addition, projects must
focus on one of the following priority funding areas:
Asthma, Chronic Pain, Depression, Diabetes, Health
Literacy, Improving the Process of Care-giving and
Care-seeking, Hypertension and/or Cholesterol
Management, Multiple Chronic Conditions, Obesity, and
Teenage Pregnancy. For more information about our grantmaking program, click here.
E-ALLIANCE:
Affinity’s E-Alliance initiative seeks to improve
service delivery and health outcomes through
technological solutions that align, coordinate and
integrate the information needs and capabilities of
Affinity, our Providers, and our Members. Our first step
in this initiative is to improve the flow of
communication and information with our Providers and
Members through a collection of new services. To date,
three new services have been launched: a portal for
providers to confirm eligibility, check on claims
status, and send secure messages; Electronic Claims
Submission and an Interactive Voice Reponses System to
confirm Member eligibility by phone in 60 seconds or
less. If you are an Affinity provider, click here to
see more information.
LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT:
The Learning and Development Program offers a wide array
of training and educational opportunities ranging from
certification programs to customer service workshops and
stress management seminars. Provider staff and the
community at large will be able to access educational
and training modules as well as on-line courses.
Affinity views health as a very broad concept including
physical, mental, and social realms of well-being.
Recognizing this, Affinity has dedicated resources
towards education and service delivery programs that
will benefit our Members, Providers and the community at
large. Check back for more information on Learning and
Development initiatives. |
