The largest share of health care payments are made by the Medicare and Medicaid programs, and both are moving aggressively to allow insurers and providers to offer a range of services and benefits to address social determinants of health (SDOH). The Medicare agency has recently expanded Medicare Advantage benefits to allow non-medical benefits to be included in benefit design starting in 2019. Multiple states are advancing large Medicaid contracts for at-risk patient identification and intervention, and an SDOH “arms race” is underway across the healthcare industry. Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) participating in the Medicare Shared Savings Program share many of the same incentives to address SDOH as insurers do.

60% of health expenditures are determined by non-clinical social factors such as access to food, housing and transportation. These SDOH represent barriers to access to high-quality health care in the most cost-effective setting. This is particularly true among low-income and elderly Americans who represent the majority of healthcare costs. Addressing SDOH has been proven to significantly reduce unnecessary emergency department visits and readmissions and drive enormous medical expense savings. It is estimated that least $200B of medical expenses among low-income Americans can be addressed through non-clinical solutions annually.

Based in one of DC's Opportunity Zones (OZs), Nightingale will leverage the OZ statute (passed in 2017 with final regs issued in late December 2019) to make major evidence-based investments in anti-poverty and complex care initiatives in partnership with insurers, such as housing, food security, non-urgent medical transport, community health workers and managed long-term care. Nightingale's unique business model will share savings with insurers to repay its investors and continually reinvest in program expansions to serve more vulnerable patients. The firm's goal is to invest $1 Billion in OZ capital over the next 8 years. Nightingale's lead sponsor is CapZone Impact Investments, a major OZ fund based in Connecticut.

By concentrating efforts in opportunity zones, Nightingale Partners is able to leverage the enormous tax benefits and incentives while investing in communities where the need for social interventions, and the potential for return on investment, is greatest. Nightingale’s mission is to improve the quality of care and reduce unnecessary health care expenditures for our most vulnerable patients through advanced technology, locally-curated social services providers, and innovative financing to address SDOH.
