About Us

Community Health Solutions of America, Inc. (CHS) is nationally recognized for our experience and leadership in providing innovative and comprehensive medical care management services and solutions that improve health outcomes and reduce costs to a broad client base.

CHS was founded in 2003 with a commitment to provide a comprehensive, patient-focused care coordination solution to medically complex adult and pediatric communities across the country. CHS takes a unique approach in accomplishing this goal by combining comprehensive industry best practices and innovative technologies to create a single, all-inclusive care coordination solution.

This is done by bringing together care coordination teams, claims processing services, call center support, printing and fulfillment services, human resources administration, payroll administration, and our revolutionary care coordination software, Consensus™.

CHS has been on the cutting edge of care coordination working with states, hospitals, provider networks, and insurers as they evolved their processes and transitioned to, or away from, care coordination and risk sharing models for delivering health care. We have incorporated everything we have learned from multiple customers into our processes and systems, yet maintained our ability to remain flexible with the ability to quickly bring in other organizations structures, processes, and tools to provide programs that are tailored to how and where you do business.

CHS is headquartered in Clearwater, Florida, executing care coordination, population management, and discharge/transition of care services throughout the country. Our team of professionals includes physicians, nurses, social workers, and care advocates. CHS, along with its sister organization, Premier Administrative Solutions, a third party administrator, is a multifaceted group experienced in and qualified to manage all aspects of a health care program.

CHS is committed to creating extraordinary partnerships with our clients and members, enabling us to provide unrivaled service. We define our business success by the quality and array of services delivered by our team of experts. Supported by our cutting-edge technology and quality management program, our mission is to deliver a level of service that exceeds our client’s expectations.
