Braven Health Supportive Care Program

Through this program, we work with CareCentrix, Inc. (CareCentrix) to manage member access to care in the post-acute care setting and to provide support to our members requiring palliative care.

CareCentrix provides utilization management and member support in the post-acute care setting as well as a community-based palliative care program for your patients enrolled in:

• Horizon Commercial fully insured plans
• Horizon Medicare Advantage plans
• Braven Health℠ Medicare Advantage plans

Submit Authorization Requests for Post-Acute Care to CareCentrix
