MIAMI / Aug 08, 2024 / Business Wire / CarePlus Health Plans, Inc., a recognized leader in Florida’s Medicare market, has introduced its new CarePlus Community Navigator found at https://careplus.findhelp.com. The innovative platform is designed to address critical social determinants of health, which are nonmedical risk factors, such as life circumstances and environments, that can affect a person’s health and well-being.

Floridians using the CarePlus Community Navigator will be able to find and connect to valuable local resources, such as food banks and transportation and affordable housing options. Types of services listed are based on those most requested in the areas where they live. Initial utilization shows that 47% of searches on the CarePlus Community Navigator are related to food security, 26% to housing, and 8% to transportation.

“When we talk about the overall wellness of Medicare beneficiaries, health equity is always at the forefront of discussions,” said Steven Ruiz, President of CarePlus Health Plans. “The launch of the CarePlus Community Navigator marks a significant step forward in our commitment to enhance health equity across Florida. We are making it easier for our members and the broader community to access important services that impact their health and well-being.”

The CarePlus Community Navigator is part of a larger effort by CarePlus, its network of providers and community partners to utilize insights from local health data to help better serve the community.
