Prioritizing social determinants of health
Since the inception of our health plans, social determinants of health (SDOH) have been at the core of our nationally recognized care model, which prioritizes unmet social and behavioral health needs. Depending on each member’s needs, care plans may be individualized to address behavioral health, food and housing security, accessing community resources, crisis support, transportation, and more.
