About
Dan Dzina, founder. A decade running chronic care management programs for insurers and providers.
I spent a decade building care management programs. Then I needed one myself.
Averyn Care is a private-pay, family-directed care coordination service. Each household works with an Averyn Care Continuity Partner who handles the non-clinical administrative follow-through, at your direction.
Administrative coordination and follow-through. Not medical advice, not clinical monitoring, not emergency response.
Who is behind it
Why I built this.
For over ten years I led insurance-paid and provider-paid chronic care management programs. I knew what health plans offered and where the incentives pointed. I knew the language, the workflows and the gaps.
Then my mother's health took a turn for the worse, and my father's was already dicey. I wanted to support them living at home. What I did not expect was how quickly everything fell apart. Not the medical care. The logistics around it. Home health. Meals. Transportation. Portal access. "What did the doctor say?" texts from relatives. A new specialist who needs a referral. A plan that technically exists, but nobody is accountable for carrying it forward.
Keeping their household running, providers coordinated, caregivers informed and family members aligned, became an all-consuming chore. And I was someone who knew the system.
It is a story I had heard a hundred times from the other side of the table. Once I had lived it, I looked for a service that would take it on and could not find one. The gap is not clinical. Families burn out carrying an administrative job they never signed up for.
Averyn Care was built for that moment.

Who does the work
A real person, and what the job takes.
Your Care Continuity Partner makes the calls, chases the paperwork and keeps the record current, at your direction. A named partner comes with Expanded and above.
Partners may come from clinical settings, and clinical experience is welcome; no clinical license is required. Every partner works inside Averyn's non-clinical scope and gives no clinical advice. They are hired to be empathetic with the family, organized, and firm with vendors when needed.
The founder does not carry households; a Care Continuity Partner does.

The shape of it
What Averyn is, and what it is not.
-
What Averyn is
Non-clinical, family-directed administrative coordination. Private pay, with no insurance billing. Remote, by phone, portal and email; nobody comes to the house. A real person: your Care Continuity Partner, acting with authorization and at your direction.
-
What Averyn is not
Not a medical provider, not medical advice. Not monitoring or fall detection. Not an emergency service; if you believe there is an urgent medical situation, call 911. Not home care, not insurance case management, not concierge medicine. Not an employee assistance program, and not a caregiver benefits platform.
Where we fit
Averyn sits beside the rest of the help, not on top of it.
Most support either helps within a provider's or payer's scope, or helps you plan and guide. Averyn helps you do it.
| Kind of help | What it does | Who directs the work |
|---|---|---|
| Home health | Skilled visits at home under a provider's orders. Helps within provider or payer scope. | The ordering provider, for the length of the episode. |
| Insurance care management | Check-ins and care-plan documentation inside a plan's benefit. Helps within payer scope. | The health plan or the provider practice running the program. |
| Employee assistance program | Short-term counseling and referrals through an employer's benefit. Helps the employee cope and points to resources. | The employer's benefit, within the sessions it covers. |
| Geriatric care manager | Assessment, planning and local oversight. Helps plan and guide. | The family who hires them, commonly by the hour. |
| Averyn Care | Non-clinical administrative follow-through: records, scheduling, referrals, portals and household updates. Helps you do it. | Your household, at your direction. Continuity Plans are a fixed monthly fee, private pay. |

Mission
Structure for the work families are already doing.
Families do an enormous amount of coordination around care. It is rarely acknowledged, and it rarely gets easier on its own. Averyn brings structure, follow-through and clear communication to that work. Three things: organize the records, coordinate the providers and home services, and communicate so the whole household reads the same page.
