Carisk Partners acquires HeadsUp Healthcare

Carisk Partners , a specialty risk transfer and care coordination company, announced its acquisition of HeadsUp Healthcare , a specialty managed care company focusing exclusively on above the neck injuries.

Previously, DentalWorks, USA, HeadsUp Healthcare has been providing treatment for injuries above the neck including dental, maxillofacial, ocular, auditory, plastic reconstruction, and concussive injuries. This strategic acquisition underscores Carisk Partners’ commitment to delivering comprehensive, whole-person care in the workers’ compensation space.

HeadsUp Healthcare is known for their commitment to empathetic, responsive care coordination and customer service. HeadsUp Healthcare has expanded beyond dental in recent years. This marriage will enable HeadsUp to expand to all aspects of health above the neck. Programs will now include behavioral health, neurological and more complex concussive conditions, filling a critical need for integrated care that addresses both physical and behavioral health.

“The acquisition of HeadsUp Healthcare furthers our mission to provide the workers’ compensation industry with innovative solutions across all acuity levels, which integrate both clinical and behavioral healthcare. Our goal is to continue to find ways to transform the marketplace, resulting in improved outcomes for patients, and transparency in the process for our partners.” – Joseph Berardo, Jr., CEO of Carisk Partners.

“In Carisk we found shared values and a commitment to deliver responsive, transparent, quality care. This opportunity allows us to address the full spectrum of an injured workers’ recovery above the neck.” – Brian Bell, CEO of HeadsUp Healthcare.
