Hearth Connection and Medica partner together to address the housing, social service and medical needs of high cost health system clients who are experiencing long-term or chronic homelessness. Medica has created an algorithm to identify their members who are experiencing homelessness; they use this algorithm to choose members to refer to Hearth Connection. When Hearth Connection is referred a Medica member they work with their direct service partners to find, engage, house and provide housing stability services to that member.
