Integrated Home Care Services buys Dina Care, eyes ‘reimagining’ benefit management

MIRAMAR, Fla. – Integrated Home Care Services has acquired Dina Care, combining an in-home benefit manager with an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled care coordination and referral management platform.

Together, the companies say they form the first comprehensive in-home benefit management and technology platform for health plans and risk-bearing organizations.

“Given the mounting pressures on health plans and risk-bearing organizations—to improve outcomes, member experience, and administrative efficiency while lowering costs—alongside the industry’s shift toward home-centered care, the case for reimagining in-home benefit management has never been clearer,” said Christopher Bradbury, CEO of Integrated Home Care Services. “Dina’s platform and AI capabilities align perfectly with Integrated’s mission: to meet health plans and risk-bearing organizations wherever they are on their in-home care transformation journey, helping them achieve better outcomes, simpler administration, and greater affordability. Whether they’re looking to supercharge their internal care and network teams, pursue fully delegated benefit management, or find a hybrid approach in between, we have the platform and expertise to deliver.”

As part of the transaction, Ashish V. Shah, founder and CEO of Dina, will join Integrated as chief product & technology officer, where he will lead product strategy, technology innovation, and AI-driven platform initiatives.

The combined platform, the companies say, immediately supports the full array of in-home service categories: mome health, personal care, long-term services and supports (LTSS), durable medical equipment and supplies (DME), home infusion, private duty nursing and other home-based services. It also supports all major lines of business and populations: Managed Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, commercial, ACA Marketplace, special needs plans, self-insured plan sponsors and others.

The companies say they serve millions of members nationwide from 20 states with national capabilities and proven results at scale
