PR Newswire | August 5, 2025
With growing demand for in-home care, the partnership between industry leaders will increase access, improve quality of care and ease the post-acute transition process for thousands of new Pennsylvania-based patients.
PHOENIX, Ariz. tango, a leader in post-acute care benefit enablement services, has entered the Pennsylvania market, the first of several new growth opportunities launching in 2025. In partnership with AmeriHealth Caritas, a national leader in Medicaid managed care, tango is now facilitating the delivery of skilled home health care to Medicare Advantage Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) members in the Keystone State.
This collaboration helps patients safely recover in the comfort of their own homes while enhancing access to high quality skilled home health care. Enablement of the home, often the patient’s preferred site of care for recovery following an acute event, is a key focus of tango’s mission, honoring patient preferences while reducing avoidable readmissions and emergency department utilization.
“Our goal is to transition patients to a home setting as seamlessly as possible by creating and helping to ensure post-acute care plans that coordinate their unique care needs and focus on enabling the home as a place that supports superior outcomes and quality during the patient’s recovery,” said Brian Lobley, tango CEO. “Both tango and AmeriHealth Caritas understand that good outcomes happen when patients remain the focus of everything we do. By improving access to home-based care — particularly for Dual Eligible plans — we help ensure timely services, better outcomes, and lower costs of care. It’s an important reason this partnership is a win-win.”
tango is the largest independent, risk-bearing, post-acute benefit enablement solution in the marketplace. The company’s solutions go beyond utilization management to solve critical access to care issues, improve outcomes and reduce costs for health plans. Headquartered in Phoenix, tango works with national and regional health plans, including downstream at-risk entities that serve Medicare Advantage, Managed Medicaid and Dual-Eligible populations.
"tango is a leader in driving positive outcomes across home-based care, and we are excited to partner to help ensure our members have improved access to comprehensive, high-quality skilled home health services, a growing demand across the country," said Chris McDade, president of Medicare Markets at AmeriHealth Caritas. “Our synergy with tango emphasizes our shared purpose of helping our members live healthier, fuller lives.”
