New partnership will expand access to community-based care for Medicaid members in Richmond and Hampton Roads communitiesSAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / April 24, 2025 / Waymark today announced a new value-based partnership with Sentara Health Plans, the health plan division of Sentara Health, aimed at transforming care delivery for Medicaid members. The collaboration will leverage Waymark's advanced data science technologies and community-based care teams to improve outcomes for Sentara Health Plans' Medicaid members in Hampton Roads and Richmond.Waymark's local teams of community health workers (CHWs), clinical pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, licensed behavioral health therapists, and care coordinators will integrate with Sentara Health Plans' existing primary care network. Waymark's care teams will identify and engage members at rising risk of avoidable emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations, providing them with targeted clinical and social interventions. A 2024 study published in NEJM Catalyst found that Waymark's early interventions reduced all-cause hospital and ED visits by 22.9% for rising-risk patients in its first year of service."Our collaboration with Sentara Health Plans builds on our existing support for Virginia's Medicaid population and represents a significant step forward in our mission to make better health possible for those who need it most," said Dr. Rajaie Batniji, Co-Founder and CEO of Waymark. "By combining data-driven early interventions with a multidisciplinary care team, we are expanding provider capacity, reducing disparities and ultimately creating more equitable systems of care for Medicaid members in communities across Virginia."Waymark will offer Sentara Health Plans Medicaid members proactive preventative care, and when needed, schedule and accompany patients to primary care physicians (PCP) appointments to reduce avoidable hospitalizations and ED visits

Peer-reviewed study demonstrates Waymark Signal is 90 percent accurate in predicting avoidable ER and hospital visitsSAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / January 23, 2024 / Waymark, the Medicaid provider enablement company, today published a peer-reviewed study in Nature's Scientific Reports comparing the performance of Waymark SignalTM, the company's proprietary machine learning technology, to conventional Medicaid risk models. The study found that Waymark Signal was 90 percent accurate in predicting avoidable emergency room (ER) and hospital utilization for patients receiving Medicaid - stronger performance than leading Medicaid risk models in the field.Waymark Signal combines data on social risk factors and patient risk trajectories with healthcare utilization to identify patients at risk for preventable ER and hospital visits. As one of the largest and most representative comparisons of Medicaid risk models to date, the study assessed Waymark Signal's machine learning approach against traditional regression models for Medicaid, which rely primarily on patient demographics, healthcare diagnostic codes, and medications to predict at-risk patients. Researchers found that Waymark Signal was 3x better at identifying at-risk patients and 10x better at predicting costs compared to conventional models."This study demonstrates the potential for machine learning models like Waymark Signal to more accurately identify at-risk patients and drive more effective interventions," said Sadiq Y. Patel, MSW, Ph.D., an author of the study and Data Science Lead for Waymark. "By enabling care teams to better recognize and act on social and clinical risk factors, Waymark Signal can help them intervene to prevent avoidable disease complications, ER visits, and hospitalizations that negatively impact both patient health and costs."Additionally, the study found that Waymark Signal also reversed the Black-White prediction bias observed in most risk models
