SCCP was formed to support the delivery of value-based care for health plan members.

This holistic, person-centered approach to health care and wellness provides the foundation of why we exist. It is our mission to help foster a culture of health that embraces innovative clinical and community-centered practices, and that also empowers individuals to live a healthier life.

Our History

In 2011, in response to the State of Illinois’ Solicitation for Care Coordination Entities and Managed Care Community Networks for Seniors and Adults with Disabilities, our founder and visionary, Jennifer Artis, established a coalition of primary care providers, FQHCs, hospitals, home health agencies, mental health and substance abuse agencies/organizations, faith-based organizations, community-based organizations, marketing experts, and other interested individuals/organizations. The focus of this coalition was to develop a care coordination model that could improve health outcomes, while reducing the cost of providing care for the targeted population.

The work of the coalition resulted in the development of the Smart Care. Less Cost care coordination model. This model was based on the National Quality Forum’s (NQF) definition and framework for measuring care coordination (www.qualityforum.org), and included the following core elements:

    • Trained and Competent Care Coordination Team
    • Comprehensive Health Assessments
    • Proactive Care Planning
    • Ongoing Clinical Follow-Up and Tracking
    • Chronic Disease Self-Management Education
    • Prevention and Wellness Services
    • Evidence-Based Medication Management
    • Home and Community Based Services
    • Case-Management and Social Service Referral
    • Health Information Technology Functionality and Interoperability
    • Culturally Relevant Delivery of Care
    • Supportive Community Networks and Partnerships

In 2014, after two years of negotiations, SCCP partnered with Entire Care Health Plan, a Coordinated Care Entity (CCE) contracted by the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) to serve Medicaid clients in Chicago and certain surrounding suburbs. SCCP’s role was to provide a full range of services including onboarding services for new members, health risk screenings (HRSs) and health risk assessments (HRAs), care planning, ongoing care coordination, behavior health support, transition of care support, and HEDIS compliance services, for Entire Care members living in 33 zip codes in Cook and Will counties of Illinois.

In 2015, SCCP partnered with NextLevel Health to provide onboarding support for members in the Chicago area.

In 2016, Meridian contracted with SCCP to conduct HRAs for members throughout the State of Illinois, including Chicago, Peoria, Rockford, Bloomington, and the Metro East area. Additionally, in 2016, SCCP provided HEDIS compliance support to physician members of Apogee Health Partners, an Independent Physician Association.

In 2017, SCCP partnered with Family Health Network to provide home and community-based waiver services in the metropolitan Chicago area.

Our most celebrated partnership has been with IlliniCare Health. In 2016, SCCP began providing onboarding services for community members of IlliniCare’s Medicaid-Medicare Plan program. In 2017, our work with Illinicare was expanded to include conducting HRAs for long term care members. In 2018, Illinicare started utilizing our call center to conduct HRSs for new Medicaid members.
