Engaging insights.

New ideas, proven best practices, and fresh perspectives for the healthcare ecosystem.

  • In a remote community like ours, we do not have local access to every type of medical specialist. The MAVEN Project gives our providers a trusted resource when a patient’s care would benefit from specialist input and helps us make better-informed decisions about whether someone truly needs to travel off island. This grant means we can continue that support for another year.

  • When someone comes through our doors with a serious or uncertain condition, every minute matters. Having portable ultrasound available at the bedside will give our clinicians another important tool to understand what is happening and make decisions faster. We are incredibly grateful to Claritev Cares and to our community for helping us get this across the finish line.

  • Rural healthcare organizations know exactly what would make a difference for their patients. The challenge is often finding the resources to make it happen. These grants help close that gap. One will put important diagnostic technology directly at the bedside, and the other will help patients benefit from specialist expertise without automatically having to leave their island community.

  • Accurate payments help reduce unnecessary administrative costs, support stronger payer-provider relationships, and contribute to a healthcare system that promotes affordability and predictability for the people who depend on it every day.

  • The grant money we received from Claritev was used to support additional resources that allow our respiratory therapists to spend more time empowering and educating patients.

  • These resources were created to help military and veteran caregivers more easily understand options for meaningful mental health care for themselves and their families. Caregivers shoulder extraordinary responsibilities every day, and they deserve clear, trusted guidance that helps them navigate complex healthcare systems with greater confidence.

    Chief Executive Officer, Elizabeth Dole Foundation

  • This collaboration (with the Elizabeth Dole Foundation) reflects a shared commitment to helping military and veteran caregivers navigate mental healthcare more clearly and confidently. These families have given so much in service to our country, and they deserve resources that are practical, accessible, and grounded in empathy.

  • These are really important things that we wouldn’t be able to do without a partner like Claritev because, again, we want to look at this stuff holistically across carriers. It would take me four times as long to go into every health plan and do this kind of analysis.
