About XLHealth

For over a decade, XLHealth has been a leader in the development of programs and businesses that seek to improve healthcare for Medicare beneficiaries with special needs, such as those with chronic illnesses.

Chronic illnesses such as diabetes and heart failure place a heavy burden on the elderly — nearly 80 percent of all Medicare beneficiaries have at least one chronic health condition. In addition to the daily challenges of managing a chronic illness, beneficiaries with chronic health conditions account for a majority of healthcare spending. The costliest five percent of Medicare beneficiaries account for about half of all Medicare spending each year. Among this top five percent, approximately 47% have congestive heart failure and approximately 35% have diabetes.¹

At XLHealth, we are dedicated to providing solutions that improve quality and reduce healthcare costs. Through our Medicare health plans, we have pioneered a specialized approach to healthcare coverage, with a range of benefits and services to fit a variety of healthcare and social support needs. For those with chronic health conditions – integrating customized disease management support and care coordination with innovative data management and analysis.

Our Philosophy

XLHealth was built upon the premise that care management support programs establishing strong ties with the local healthcare community can effectively improve the health of underserved beneficiaries and those with chronic illnesses, preventing the development of costly complications.

Our belief is that the unique needs of those with chronic health conditions demand a different approach to healthcare — one that is customized based on individual need, employing care coordination and disease management strategies to encourage best practices among healthcare providers and healthier lifestyles among Medicare beneficiaries.

We also believe in fully understanding each patient's unique needs in order to provide the most comprehensive support possible. Our staff members work closely with Medicare beneficiaries and healthcare providers to collect and share all relevant information. And our state-of-the-art information technology allows us to assess, stratify, and analyze patient care needs and outcomes—preventing avoidable and expensive disease complications and hospitalizations.
