Medical Guardian Partners with AmeriHealth Caritas to Offer Personal Emergency Response Systems to D-SNP Members

Philadelphia, Pa. (August 7, 2025) – Medical Guardian announced today a partnership to offer personal emergency response systems (PERS) to AmeriHealth Caritas Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNP) members in Delaware, Florida, and South Carolina, as of January 1st.

This new benefit increases members’ access to preventive care and emergency support, helping them stay engaged in their health journey and connected to essential resources.

Medical Guardian’s two-way, cellular-connected PERS devices will offer wearers 24/7 emergency response along with tools for day-to-day health management.

“Technology plays a critical role in transforming health care by improving engagement and meeting members where they are,” said Geoff Gross, Founder and CEO of Medical Guardian. “We’re proud to provide AmeriHealth Caritas members with innovative tools to help them stay safe and connected.”

The devices provide personalized updates, check-ins, and preventive care notifications, making it easier for members to take proactive steps in managing their health. Key features include real-time health screening, preventive care appointment reminders, and fall risk monitoring—helping members to close gaps in their care, maintain their independence, and improve their overall well-being.

“This new benefit reflects our commitment to helping improve access to care and making it easier for members to stay on top of their health,” said Christopher McDade, President of Medicare Markets at AmeriHealth Caritas. “With Medical Guardian’s devices, our members have a simple way to engage with preventive care while helping to ensure emergency response support is available 24/7.”
