CliniShare, a home healthcare agency affiliate of Burbank, Calif.-based UniHealth America, has launched a peri-natal service designed to lower healthcare expenses related to high-risk obstetrics cases.
Through a joint services arrangement with Santa Ana, Calif.-based Tokos Clinical Services Corp., Clini-Share will offer prenatal monitoring services used by physicians in detecting and caring for high-risk pregnancies.
Executives of both companies expect healthcare payers that want to reduce expenditures for complex medical treatments will find this type of preventive-care program attractive as a possible managed-care product.
