Pair Team expands to support Clark County's Medicaid population with medical, behavioral, and social care services
Pair Team, a tech-enabled medical group reimagining how Medicaid supports the most underserved populations, today announced its expansion to Nevada. The organization will begin serving high-risk Medicaid members in Clark County as part of its mission to improve access in communities and populations that face persistent barriers to care. Pair Team partners with trusted local organizations to build Community Care Hubs, which are networks rooted in the community that connect individuals to medical, behavioral, and social support services.
Clark County is home to nearly three-quarters of Nevada's population and more than 800,000 Medicaid enrollees. Yet many residents, particularly those with complex medical and social needs, still lack access to consistent, high-quality care. Pair Team's model aims to address that gap by offering comprehensive medical, behavioral, and social services-often starting with the most critical needs such as help with housing, food, and transportation.
Beginning September 2, eligible Medicaid members attributed to Pair Team began receiving personalized outreach and engagement to begin care. Members can meet with their care team by phone, video, or in their homes or communities – wherever care is most accessible.
“We're stepping into one of the largest and most underserved Medicaid populations in the country with a proven model that's designed to meet people where they are,” said Neil Batlivala, CEO and Founder of Pair Team. “Our expansion into Clark County marks a meaningful step forward in our mission to bring high-quality, whole-person care to communities that have too often been left behind.”
Pair Team care teams are led by Community Health Workers (CHWs) and supported by nurse practitioners, registered nurses, licensed clinical social workers, and behavioral health specialists. The teams are embedded in the community and work in partnership with local organizations like shelters, food banks, and clinics to ensure members receive personalized support across all aspects of their health.
“Our patients don't just need a doctor, they need someone who can help them get to the appointment, understand their medication, and find a safe place to sleep,” said Erika Ventura, a Pair Team Community Health Worker based in Nevada. “We're not just showing up once. We're there for the long run, helping our members navigate life.”
The expansion builds on Pair Team's success in California, where the company currently serves over 15,000 high-need Medicaid members. Results to date include:
— 52% reduction in emergency department visits
— 26% reduction in inpatient admissions
— 21% increase in outpatient care
— 20% cost savings among high-cost Medicaid beneficiaries
— $25,000 average annual net savings for high-cost dual eligibles
“With Pair Team, members will have a care team that understands their health history, works with them regularly, and connects them to the support they need-inside and outside the doctor's office,” said Dr. Nate Favini, Chief Medical Officer at Pair Team. “Our goal is to make high-quality care easy to access and built around each individual's life.”
To scale its impact, Pair Team is also building AI-powered tools that extend the reach of human care teams – simplifying care coordination, benefits navigation, and engagement for both providers and patients. These innovations are designed to reduce burden while improving the experience of care.
As Pair Team grows, it remains focused on expanding access in communities where the need is greatest and the traditional healthcare system has struggled to reach.
