In a fragmented health care landscape where providers and health plans frequently engage in contract disputes, the shared values and aligned incentives of Mercy and Centivo offer a refreshing change. The start of this long-term collaboration is an investment in the local community, aiming to provide affordable health care options for business owners and their employees while ensuring access to high-quality care and promoting a healthier workforce.

在医疗服务提供者和医疗计划经常发生合同纠纷的支离破碎的医疗环境中，Mercy和Centivo的共同价值观和一致的激励机制带来了令人耳目一新的变化。这项长期合作的开始是对当地社区的投资，旨在为企业主及其员工提供负担得起的医疗保健选择，同时确保获得高质量的医疗保健并促进更健康的劳动力。

Mercy and Centivo’s collaboration marks the 49th national partnership for Centivo, as well as the sixth network partnership in Missouri. Consistently ranked as one of the nation’s largest and highest performing Accountable Care Organizations for almost two decades, Mercy has invested in care models and infrastructure to ensure high-quality, low-cost care across the regions it serves.

Mercy和Centivo的合作标志着Centivo的第49个国家合作伙伴关系，以及密苏里州的第六个网络合作伙伴关系。近二十年来，Mercy一直被列为美国最大和表现最好的责任护理组织之一，Mercy投资于护理模式和基础设施，以确保其服务地区的高质量，低成本护理。

Mercy’s leadership in value-based care has saved the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, commonly known as CMS, more than $250 million over the last five years. Together, Mercy and Centivo share the goal of improving health outcomes while decreasing the financial burden on patients..

Mercy在基于价值的护理方面的领导地位在过去五年中为美国医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心（通常称为CMS）节省了超过2.5亿美元。Mercy和Centivo共同致力于改善健康状况，同时减轻患者的经济负担。。

St. Louis residents enrolled in Centivo can expect the same high-quality care from Mercy, now enhanced by greater integration and affordability. Mercy and Centivo are improving access and affordability by prioritizing primary care. The result is financial transparency and a health plan built to be used.

参加Centivo的圣路易斯居民可以从Mercy那里获得同样的高质量护理，现在通过更大的整合和负担能力得到了加强。Mercy和Centivo正在通过优先考虑初级保健来改善获得和负担能力。其结果是财务透明度和为使用而制定的健康计划。

“As Mercy heads into our third century of providing compassionate, high-quality care to the communities we serve, we also remain committed to transparency and low-cost care,” said Steve Mackin, Mercy’s president and CEO. “We believe Centivo is a compelling choice among the many strong options available in Missouri.

They also provide flexibility to employers who want the Mercy network of providers for their employees. By Centivo offering in-person and virtual primary care visits at no cost to our patients, Centivo members will be encouraged to create strong relationships with their primary care providers and prevent health issues from escalating.

他们还为那些希望为员工提供慈善服务的雇主提供了灵活性。通过Centivo为患者免费提供亲自和虚拟初级保健访问，将鼓励Centivo成员与其初级保健提供者建立牢固的关系，并防止健康问题升级。

This ensures patients receive the right care at the right time and at the right price.”.

这确保了患者在正确的时间和正确的价格得到正确的护理。”。

By prioritizing primary care, Centivo expects to bring significant savings to St. Louis businesses while insuring their workforce and promoting a healthy workplace. In addition, there are plans to eventually expand this collaboration across Mercy’s footprint. Prioritizing primary care has a direct impact on employer savings, evidenced by a 45% increase in primary care visits and resulting in a 30% rise in preventive care visits and a 30% decrease in ER and urgent care visits for Centivo customers..

通过优先考虑初级保健，Centivo希望为圣路易斯的企业带来可观的节约，同时确保其劳动力并促进健康的工作场所。此外，有计划最终在Mercy的足迹范围内扩大这种合作。优先考虑初级保健对雇主的节省有直接影响，初级保健就诊增加了45%，导致预防保健就诊增加了30%，Centivo客户的急诊和急诊就诊减少了30%。。

This new option for St. Louis businesses comes on the heels of Centivo receiving $75 million in additional funding, including participation from new strategic investors Cone Health Ventures and MemorialCare Innovation Fund, as well as existing financial investors B Capital, Cox Enterprises, F-Prime Capital, Ingleside Investors and Morgan Health (a division of JPMorgan Chase).

圣路易斯企业的这一新选择是在Centivo获得7500万美元额外资金之后推出的，其中包括新战略投资者Cone Health Ventures和MemorialCare Innovation Fund以及现有金融投资者B Capital、Cox Enterprises、F-Prime Capital、Ingleside investors和Morgan Health（摩根大通的一个部门）的参与。
