Strive Health Expands Partnership with Zing Health to Provide Value-Based Kidney Care to Chronic Disease Population
This expansion enhances access to specialized, coordinated kidney care for Medicare Advantage members living with chronic kidney disease across six states DENVER, March 11, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Strive Health, a national leader in value-based kidney care, and Zing Health, a leading Medicare Advantage insurer, have announced the expansion of their existing partnership to deliver specialized kidney care to all eligible members across Zing's geographical footprint. Strive will now support Zing members in Ohio, Tennessee and Mississippi and continue coverage in Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. Through this expanded partnership, Strive is projected to serve thousands of Zing members with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in 2025, with double-digit growth expected this year. Each year, more than 130,000 Americans are diagnosed with CKD, a condition that accounts for 24% of annual Medicare spending and often leads to a fragmented, high-cost care experience with limited focus on slowing disease progression. By integrating Zing's tailored benefits with Strive's proven value-based care model, the partnership ensures members have seamless access to specialized nephrology care and coordinated care strategies to improve outcomes across the CKD population. "Our collaboration with Zing has strengthened our shared commitment to delivering high-quality, coordinated care to individuals living with kidney disease," said Chris Riopelle, Co-Founder & CEO at Strive Health. "Together, Strive's value-based care model and Zing's benefit plans proactively address the clinical challenges and social determinants of health that impact patient outcomes and create a more unified care experience." Zing's Medicare Advantage plans are uniquely designed for individuals with chronic conditions, offering specialized benefits that address both medical and social needs. By integrating Strive's model of care, which leverages predictive analytics, interdisciplinary clinical teams and high-touch patient engagement, the partnership aims to improve quality of life while reducing avoidable hospitalizations and total cost of care. "Our collaboration with Strive represents the future of Medicare Advantage, where members receive holistic, coordinated care from providers who understand their unique health needs," said Andrew Clifton, CEO at Zing Health. "By connecting Zing's benefits and member experience services with high-quality clinical care, we're ensuring our members don't have to navigate the complex healthcare system alone. This partnership is a testament to our commitment to improving outcomes for those managing kidney disease."
