With applications due at the end of the year, states sit on an opportunity to improve access and health outcomes with proven solutions.<\/span><\/i><\/h2>\n

NEW YORK \u2013 July 28, 2025 \u2013<\/b> With the recent passage of H.R. 1, the \u201cOne Big Beautiful Bill Act,\u201d states are preparing to operate in new ways, with an eye on leveraging technology to advance access, coordination, and new partnerships to improve how they deliver better care for their populations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A substantial, but time-sensitive, opportunity for states is the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP). This $50 billion fund is designed to support rural healthcare delivery, specifically innovating <\/span>more efficient and resilient systems. <\/span>Applications are due by the end of 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n

As states adapt to the new healthcare landscape, the need for proven, data-driven models is paramount.<\/span><\/p>\n

States like Nebraska, Virginia, and North Carolina offer blueprints for success. These states have built a robust, statewide infrastructure, powered by Unite Us, that supports rural communities, enhances access to care, and proves resilient even in the face of natural disasters. This infrastructure has helped tens of thousands across mostly rural regions of the state.<\/span><\/p>\n

In North Carolina alone, the state\u2019s ability to coordinate both health and human services in real-time, track outcomes, and manage reimbursements through a single infrastructure has yielded remarkable, and validated, results: <\/span>A peer-reviewed study of this coordinated care model shows the state saves an estimated $1,020 per patient per year ($85 PMPM) by addressing barriers and needs like food and housing security.<\/span><\/p>\n

The platform has also enabled an exceptionally low claims denial rate under 2%, far below the healthcare industry average of 15-18%, ensuring community-based organizations are reimbursed for their vital services.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cStates are entering a new era of healthcare, with a clear mandate to innovate, increase efficiency, and drive results,\u201d said Taylor Justice, Co-founder and President of Unite Us. \u201cThe Rural Health Transformation Program is a critical resource, and that funding must be deployed with proven strategies to have a lasting impact. Our work in states across the country demonstrates that investing in coordinated care infrastructure is the most effective way to improve health outcomes and generate sustainable savings. We are ready to help states build their plans to ensure this crucial funding is put to its best possible use.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The RHTP is the fastest-moving component of the bill\u2019s healthcare provisions. Technological solutions like the Unite Us platform provide states with a turnkey approach to rapidly assemble applications that meet federal requirements, drive efficiency, and deliver meaningful support to underserved rural communities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unite Us offers state and local governments the digital infrastructure needed to comply with new federal mandates and assist at-risk populations through verification assistance for eligibility redetermination, closed-loop referrals to both existing health and employment community resources, integrated reporting and analytics, and streamlined payments management.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All non-profit community-based organizations can use Unite Us\u2019 platform free of charge.
