Summit Reinsurance Services, Inc. today announced a strategic collaboration with Renalogic, a solution provider offering risk management services for kidney disease. Renalogic uses a data-driven approach focused on predicting and preventing chronic conditions that lead to dialysis. Its team of registered nurses works with members to slow the progression of kidney disease, preserve or improve kidney function, improve overall health, and reduce the cost of care for members who might otherwise progress to end stage renal disease (ESRD). Since it began providing dialysis cost containment services in 2002, Renalogic has saved clients more than one billion dollars.
“Dialysis costs are already high and they only continue to increase,” said Debbie Hoffer, Vice President, Managed Care at Summit Re. “Renalogic’s predictive modeling and proven methodology give clients maximum flexibility to select the appropriate option for each situation. In addition, Renalogic is focused on solutions that are proactive and member-centric to achieve healthier outcomes and dialysis cost avoidance, not just cost savings. We believe this new collaboration will bring significant value to our clients.”
Jim Wachtel, Renalogic Executive Vice President Sales & Marketing, added, “We look forward to our expanded partnership with Summit Re. Combining the capabilities of our team at Renalogic with Summit Re resources is a sure win for clients.”
