What Partnership Solutions Mso does

Partnership Solutions MSO is a Management Services Organization founded in 2022 and headquartered in the Bronx, New York, that delivers administrative and management support to healthcare organizations serving individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). The company functions as the operational backbone for IDD-focused managed care partners, with named engagements including Care Design NY (an organization serving approximately 30,000 individuals with IDD) and Partners Health Plan (an IDD-specialized managed care organization), and it is currently building adjacent capabilities in network development, provider education and training, and direct services. Its business model is services-based: revenue derives from management services agreements with these partner organizations rather than from licensing a discrete technology product, and there is no disclosed proprietary software platform or AI/ML capability in the input. Its resource base is a specialized leadership team - CEO Kerry Delaney, COO Courtney Skivington-Wolf, Chief Medical Director Maulik Trivedi, and CFO Christopher Masi - and a workforce oriented toward IDD clinical and administrative operations. Recent corporate activity centers on the February 2024 acquisition of a Medicare Accountable Care Organization focused on the IDD population and ongoing service line extension, all while geographic operations remain concentrated in New York State.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Help at Home: Help at Home is a large personal care services provider focused on seniors and individuals with disabilities, primarily through state Medicaid waivers. It is comparable because it administers the operational and back-office infrastructure required to deliver disability-focused home and community-based services at scale.
• Sevita Health (formerly The MENTOR Network): Sevita is a national provider of home and community-based services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It is comparable because it operates IDD day, residential, and behavioral health services across multiple states and shares the same operating challenges of administering large IDD populations on behalf of state Medicaid programs.
• Aveanna Healthcare: Aveanna is a national home health and medical solutions provider with significant pediatric and adult IDD exposure. It is comparable because it supports medically complex and IDD populations across home and community settings and provides administrative, clinical, and operational infrastructure analogous to an MSO.
• Centria Healthcare: Centria is a provider of autism and IDD behavioral health services, including ABA therapy, and was the prior employer of Partnership Solutions' Medical Director. It is comparable because it operates large-scale clinical and administrative infrastructure for IDD service delivery under similar payer models.
• Public Partnerships LLC (PPL): PPL is a Management Services Organization that administers self-directed services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and other populations on behalf of state Medicaid agencies. It is a direct peer because it runs the same MSO back-office model for IDD payers, with overlapping administrative, fiscal intermediary, and program-support functions.
• Incompass (Massachusetts): Incompass is a human services organization supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Massachusetts through case management, day services, and family support. It is comparable as a regional IDD-focused services organization with similar back-office and care coordination functions, although it operates as a direct service provider rather than an MSO.

Broad incumbents

• Modivcare: Modivcare is a diversified healthcare services company providing non-emergency medical transport, personal care, and monitoring for Medicaid and Medicare populations. It is a broad incumbent that touches similar IDD and disability populations through Medicaid waiver programs, but operates at much larger scale and across multiple service lines.
• BrightSpring Health Services: BrightSpring is a large, diversified home and community-based services platform serving IDD, behavioral health, and pharmacy populations. It is a broad incumbent because, unlike Partnership Solutions, it operates its own direct service lines at scale, but it competes for the same IDD payer contracts and provides similar administrative and operational support to IDD-focused programs.
• Anthem/Elevance Health (Amerigroup): Elevance Health operates Medicaid managed care plans (including Amerigroup) that serve IDD populations across multiple states. It is a broad incumbent because it is the kind of large MCO that Partners Health Plan competes with or partners alongside in New York, and it has internal MSO-equivalent administrative infrastructure that overlaps with Partnership Solutions' value proposition.

Emerging players

• NetSmart Technologies: NetSmart provides health IT and managed services platforms specifically for behavioral health, IDD, and human services organizations. It is comparable as an enabling technology and MSO-adjacent vendor that powers many of the back-office functions (care coordination, compliance, billing) that Partnership Solutions performs on behalf of its anchor clients.
