Wellth’s smartphone-based Medication Adherence Rewards Program motivates and empowers individuals diagnosed with chronic behavioral health conditions to engage in the daily healthy behaviors that generate actual clinical outcomes. Using a repetitive trigger-behavior-reward interface, Wellth develops a long term habit of self-management and has shown the ability to improve outcomes for our partners including ED utilization, readmissions, and metrics like A1c control for Diabetics. ​ Wellth’s solution is offered to high-acuity health system patients through an intuitive smartphone app that includes daily personalized nudges as well as quick photo ‘check-ins’ for daily medications. Patients enrolled into the program are endowed a $30 reward balance on the first day of each month, but must consistently upload their medication photos each day to earn the full reward. Deductions of $2 per day are made for missed photo uploads (until a minimum balance of $0). Our Wellth Member Educator team regularly monitors enrolled member behaviors, outreaches to members flagged as nonadherent, and initiates motivational interviewing discussions with nonadherent members if appropriate. The Member Educators also communicate regularly with health system care managers to report on patient adherence behaviors.

Addiction to opioids, alcohol, and other drugs have devastating individual and family effects and too often end lives prematurely while driving enormous inefficiency in health care. Unlike many other chronic conditions — where “standards of excellence” inform consumers, health systems, and payers about best practices and services that should be available — today’s recovery services are delivered through a method often lacking alignment or integrated economic structures that incentivize long-term recovery. In late 2016, the U.S. Surgeon General issued the seminal “Surgeon General’s Report on Alcohol, Drugs, and Health: Facing Addiction in America.” The report issues a call for mainstream health systems to begin integrating substance use services was afforded an entire chapter. In response, organizations have formed the Alliance for Addiction Payment Reform (Alliance) to: Provide guidance, recommendations, and tools for the development of integrated delivery models of care for addiction; Collectively champion payment reform and shifting towards value-based purchasing in addiction care; and Advance value-based models nationally through private and public channels. ​ The Alliance, comprised of dozens of health care institutions and professionals, developed the Addiction Recovery Medical Home Alternative Payment Model (ARMH-APM) to establish a structure that promotes the type of integration and patient care capable of producing improved outcomes for patients, payers, and health systems long-term by aligning all incentives. The ARMH-APM was initially developed by a multi-sector process convened by Leavitt Partners, Facing Addiction with NCADD, and Third Horizon Strategies and published in 2018. In 2019, Third Horizon Strategies continued to manage the work on behalf of the Alliance and released an updated paper coinciding with the announcement of pilot explorations of the model in local markets.
