SCAN Health Plan will partner with The Springs Living to provide co-branded products for seniors across Clackamas and Washington counties starting January 1. This new initiative integrates daily senior living support with medical care to improve access for Oregon residents.
Why it matters
The model aims to provide medical care directly in living environments to reduce the necessity for hospitalizations and intensive care unit stays. By bringing healthcare closer to the home, the organizations hope to improve overall health outcomes for the senior population.
The clinical service model mandates that residents receive professional podiatry services every two weeks. This integrated approach ensures regular medical oversight within the residential setting.

The Big Picture
This move reflects a broader industry shift toward home-based integrated care models, similar to the CMS Innovation Center's Integrated Care for Kids model. The partnership represents a growing trend of health plans moving beyond traditional coverage to directly manage clinical environments in senior living communities.
Seniors in Clackamas and Washington counties will gain access to a new integrated care model that brings medical clinicians to their residential environment. This change may reduce the need for outside travel to receive routine medical support such as podiatry.
The takeaway
This partnership highlights how integrating medical expertise with daily living assistance can potentially lower the need for intensive hospital care. Seniors living in covered regions should consult their providers to determine if these new plans align with their ongoing medical needs.
