NavCare Launched

July 19, 2016

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WASHINGTON, DC--Capitol Partners, a middle market focused private equity firm, has announced that portfolio platform company US CareNet, a national senior care services provider based in Augusta, Ga., has launched NavCare.

The NavCare brand provides chronic care and transitional care management, population health management and care coordination services for primary care providers and other healthcare providers throughout the country.

“For thirty years we have been developing and improving an extremely effective care center,” said Rick Griffin, US CareNet President and Chief Executive Officer. “We use only Registered Nurses for triaging our patients and only nurses licensed in the states in which our services are provided. Unlike software companies who hire clinicians to work in a call center, we are a healthcare company with experienced clinicians using our proprietary software designed to provide the highest level of care through our Care Center. Our goal is to help providers deliver a higher quality of care to the chronically ill population, thereby driving better outcomes and more efficiency throughout the healthcare system.”

To date, NavCare has added more than 50,000 Medicare patients to their roles through agreements with practice groups and healthcare organizations in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, South Carolina and Texas. Additional agreements are in process.

“Chronic care and transitional care management are the wave of the future in healthcare and we anticipate and are preparing for exponential growth in the coming year,” said Jon Wilder, Chief Operations Officer for NavCare and US CareNet. “Much of our time has been spent educating about chronic care management, its cost saving benefits, as well as its benefits to patients. Keeping patients out of the hospital and helping them manage their chronic conditions is vital and we have been able to show health care providers how easy it can be for them through the use of our services.”

NavCare, a US CareNet company, is a care management organization that provides Chronic Care (CCM) and Transitional Care Management (TCM) services to patients as an extension of their physician’s practice using HIPAA compliant CMS certified EHR and proprietary software. The Care Center uses appropriately licensed and supervised clinicians providing a higher level of care for patients, helping manage their chronic illnesses, creating higher patient satisfaction and better outcomes for all. Partnering with NavCare takes the oversight and management of CCM/TCM patients off of physicians and their staff, thereby increasing productivity.

US CareNet with assets including home health and private duty agencies across the US, provides a diverse, innovative group of post-acute health care and senior living services designed to meet the ever-changing healthcare needs of aging Americans. Established in 1995 as CareSouth, the company divested its CareSouth agencies in November 2015 and is now known as US CareNet. Other US CareNet businesses and partnerships include Health at Home, a partnership with LCS, and Care Partners @ Home, providing home health and private duty services.
