COVID-19 vaccines that are currently available in the US are clinically shown to be safe and highly effective at preventing severe COVID-19 illness and death, including against the Delta variant. The vaccine is particularly important for older adults and those with complex chronic conditions, as these populations are at higher risk for hospitalization or death. However, these populations, especially those who are homebound, often face significant challenges to accessing vaccination services, such as transportation barriers, mobility issues, and lack of social support.
“Many Clover members have disabilities or face other challenges that can make it difficult for them to leave their homes, even to obtain life-saving medical care like the COVID-19 vaccine,” said
MedArrive's platform enables payers and providers to leverage a network of EMTs, paramedics and other types of skilled healthcare workers to extend care services into the home to improve patient outcomes while empowering an underutilized segment of the healthcare workforce.
“We strive to help as many Medicare eligibles across the country as possible overcome healthcare barriers by meeting them where they are and coordinating care with the care teams they already know and trust,” said
