Providers, politicians, and insurers have acknowledged that foodcare and food as medicine can address chronic conditions and food insecurity at scale, yet we’ve lacked the evidence showing that these services can reduce healthcare costs for Medicaid populations – until now. We’ve partnered with Wisconsin’s Chorus Community Health Plans to evaluate the impact of our foodcare program on reducing healthcare costs, improving patient outcomes, and reducing food insecurity.
