Delivering on the Promise of Value-Based Care
OUR STORY
The story of Lumeris began when a physician group formed Essence Healthcare, a fully insured Medicare Advantage plan in the St. Louis area. Since welcoming our first members in 2004, Essence Healthcare has developed a robust, patient-first clinical model that has driven strong financial results and has been consistently rated a 5-Star plan by CMS. In 2011 we brought this proven model to the market as Lumeris, serving as a co-operating, risk-sharing partner with health systems and physician groups.
Lumeris Value-Based Care Enablement
Lumeris partners with health systems and physician groups, bringing the technology, advanced risk management, and value-based care capabilities to deliver a system of care every doctor wants for their family. Our innovative solutions result in superior quality metrics, enhanced patient experience and physician satisfaction, and notable reductions in total cost of care across Medicare Advantage, traditional Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial populations. Today, Lumeris partnerships manage more than $13 billion of medical spend across the country.
Essence Healthcare
Essence Healthcare provides affordable, comprehensive Medicare Advantage plans that focus on wellness, care coordination, and personal service. Powered by the technology of Lumeris, Essence continues to achieve high star ratings from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for its commitment to service and quality. Every year, Medicare evaluates plans based on a 5- star rating system. Essence HMO and PPO plan options are available in Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas, Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana for the 2025 plan year.
