How we do it: proven models, measurable outcomes

Our approach combines physician-led care, innovative health plans, and advanced technology. Each part of the Curana Health system is designed to work together, delivering better outcomes for residents and more stability for communities.

Medical Group

Our physician-led medical group provides on-site primary, urgent, and post-acute care in skilled nursing and long-term care communities. With consistent rounding, 24/7 coverage, and integrated care teams, we bring hospital-level expertise into residents’ daily lives.

ACO Participation

Through Medicare Shared Savings Programs and High Needs REACH ACOs, we coordinate care for Medicare beneficiaries. Curana’s MSSP ACO ranked in the top 1% nationally in its first year, showing that collaboration can reduce costs while improving resident outcomes.

Technology

Our Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans (I-SNP and D-SNP) are designed specifically for seniors in long-term care. These plans lower barriers to care, enhance access to services, and give communities the chance to participate in shared savings models.

Health Plans

We use integrated EMRs, remote patient monitoring, and predictive AI to identify risks before they escalate. This technology empowers care teams to act early, improving both resident safety and community efficiency.

Text Testimonials
“It’s so reassuring knowing that the Curana team is available 24/7 if I’m not feeling good and need to speak to someone. And, if the care I need is beyond what they can provide—like when I needed my hip replacement—they can refer me to a specialist and still stay in touch to make sure I am doing okay.”

Derek Chao, MD

President and Chief Medical Officer
Dr. Chao brings more than two decades of experience in managed care, clinical leadership, and healthcare transformation to Curana Health. Starting his medical career as a hospitalist and nephrologist in Southern California, Dr. Chao has held various leadership positions (including medical director and chief medical officer) within numerous healthcare organizations (including HealthCare Partners). Before coming to Curana, he served as chief executive officer of Optum Health’s western region, where he oversaw operations and care delivery across nine states. Dr. Chao’s expertise spans a range of healthcare models, from fee-for-service to value-based care across Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial plans. His broad experience has honed his ability to lead both clinical and operational teams through the complexities of healthcare delivery models, and his professional insights are shaped not only by his clinical expertise, but also by personal experience (having witnessed firsthand the challenges his elderly parents faced in navigating the American healthcare system). At Curana Health, Dr. Chao leads efforts to empower the organization’s healthcare providers, optimize care delivery, and ensure clinicians have the tools and support needed to achieve exceptional outcomes for patients and operator partners alike.
