In effort to support Ohio YMCAs\u2019 partnerships with payors, providers, and employers, the Ohio Alliance of YMCAs created a managed service organization called the Ohio Healthy Living Collaborative.\u00a0 The Collaborative is a separate nonprofit corporation, with an independent board of directors.<\/p>\n
The Collaborative\u2019s initial effort was to transition YMCA Diabetes Prevention Program contracts before YMCA of USA\u2019s MSO ceased operations in May 2019.\u00a0 In that transition process, the Collaborative identified and contracted with a third party to provide data management and payment services for DPP.<\/p>\n
While DPP was the MSO\u2019s first line of business, the Ohio Alliance created the Collaborative to support the Ys in a much broader effort to grow and strengthen healthcare partnerships.\u00a0 The Collaborative currently negotiates on behalf of Ohio YMCAs with payors such as Optum and Tivity.\u00a0 Working with Ohio YMCAs, the Collaborative also is working to identify a statewide membership product, which will include an ability to scale a sustainable business model.\u00a0 Following finalizing product details, the Collaborative will work with payors, providers, and employers to scale the program.<\/p>\n
The Collaborative supports its work with fees collected from a select few sustaining local YMCAs.\u00a0 Additionally, as part of the business model for new products, the Collaborative will include any costs necessary to sustain its work.<\/p>\n
