tango Partners with ATRIO Health Plans to Expand Access to Home Health Care for Medicare Advantage Members in Oregon

PHOENIX and SALEM, Ore. (March 16, 2026) – tango, the largest independent, risk-bearing home health benefit management solution in the nation, today announced a new partnership with ATRIO Health Plans to expand access to high-quality, value-based home health care. The collaboration went live on February 1 and supports ATRIO’s Medicare Advantage members in Oregon.

Under the partnership, tango will manage home health services for ATRIO members, using its value-based model to ensure members receive timely, appropriate care in the home following hospitalization or other acute events. By identifying high-need patients in real time and aligning incentives with high-performing home health providers, tango helps reduce delays in care, improve outcomes, and enhance the member experience.

“Rural Medicare Advantage members often face delayed or limited access to home health care following a hospital stay,” said Brian Lobley, CEO of tango. “tango was built to solve that challenge, connecting members to high-quality providers quickly and ensuring care is delivered in the home, even in harder-to-reach communities like many parts of Oregon.”

ATRIO serves Medicare Advantage members across several counties in Oregon and is known for its community-based approach and focus on personalized care. Through tango’s model, ATRIO members will benefit from faster referrals, improved care coordination, and access to a curated network of home health providers operating under value-based arrangements.

“Ensuring our members can safely recover at home is a priority for ATRIO,” said Jennifer Callahan, President & CEO of ATRIO Health Plans. “By partnering with tango, we’re strengthening access to skilled home health services and supporting smoother transitions of care for the people we serve in Oregon.”

Unlike traditional utilization management approaches that can delay or restrict access, tango’s model emphasizes collaboration with providers and rewards timely starts of care, quality performance, and positive patient outcomes.

tango places nearly all qualified home health referrals and accelerates start-of-care timelines by roughly two days compared to unmanaged populations—an improvement associated with lower utilization and stronger recovery at home. In past partnerships, tango-managed patients experienced 28% lower 30-day hospitalization rates and 35% lower readmissions compared to national benchmarks, while achieving 98% patient satisfaction.

This work marks tango’s second Medicare Advantage partnership in Oregon and doubles tango’s total managed Medicare Advantage population in the state.

The ATRIO partnership builds on tango’s continued growth nationwide as Medicare Advantage plans seek scalable, value-based solutions to improve access to home-based care amid rising costs and increasing demand. In 2025, tango expanded from four states serving roughly 1 million lives to a platform positioned to support 10 states and 2 million lives by early 2026, demonstrating speed, scalability, and replicability.
