Working with Wild Blue Health
Our services vary by our clients and their needs. See how clients across the health care space are partnering with Wild Blue Health.
We work as a team of experienced, dynamic consultants — all backed by the renowned expertise of Ken Janda, founder and principal of Wild Blue Health Solutions.
Who We Serve
FQHCs and other providers of services to low-income and other underserved populations struggle to provide needed medical and other support services while maintaining their own financial sustainability. We work with safety net providers on strategic plans, improved payer contracts and mix, and changes in operations to help you make it all work.
Health plans/MCOs that are part of provider organizations and primarily focus on the Medicaid population are under pressure from large national MCOs and even state and federal representatives. We work with SNHPs on policy, strategy, and strategic collaborative efforts to maintain your financial viability, enter new markets, and demonstrate the additional value of community-based health plans.
As more people recognize the importance of the social determinants or non-medical drivers of health, non-profit social services organizations must learn how to better collaborate with safety net providers and SNHPs. What does that look like financially and operationally? We can help you identify, analyze, and implement new programs.
Start-ups are the disruptors we need to improve health outcomes and patient experience as well as bend the cost curve in health care. For start-ups focused on women and/or children, or bringing technology and services to reduce disparities, improve access and increase health equity, we can help. We know the providers and health plans you need to talk to, understand, get paid by and integrate with. We help you talk their language and their pain points so that you can enter the market and thrive.
Philanthropic and other non-profits that are trying to drive change in the health system need experts that have been in the trenches and the executive ranks of health plans and provider organizations, who have served on boards of smaller non-profits, and are enthusiastically committed to system change. We have the expertise and experience you need to extend the work of your staff and connect the dots to those working to make the system better and more equitable for all.
From 501(c)(6) professional associations to medical colleges at Tier 1 Universities, we tackle challenges throughout every level of the health care system. Not sure if we can support the goals of your organization or institute? Don't hesitate to ask.
