9amHealth launches all-in-one diabetes solution for employers

Mike Reeve, formerly of Livongo/Teladoc Health, was recently hired as Vice President of Sales to lead and expedite this effort into the employer segment. 9amHealth will be particularly compelling for organizations seeking innovative, accessible healthcare benefits that resonate with most folks living with diabetes and other chronic conditions. Over 133 million Americans are affected by diabetes or prediabetes. More than 80% have at least one other chronic condition, with hypertension and hyperlipidemia being the most common.

"9amHealth is the only comprehensive solution on the market available for the majority of people living with type 2 diabetes," says Mike Reeve. "While other companies only provide preventive services or cater to severe cases, 9amHealth has created a seamless experience where people living with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes get everything they need from one place. We've created an environment that makes it easier for people to follow their custom treatment plans to live healthier lives every day. This is next-generation diabetes care."

Early data offers a glimpse into how people with diabetes will benefit from 9amHealth services, reporting an impressive A1c reduction of 1.8 points in members who had an A1c>8% prior to joining 9amhealth. The average A1c in this population went from 10.7 down to 8.9% over an average period of 67 days¹. The 9amHealth team is anticipating this positive trajectory to continue as people consistently hit their A1c targets.

A 9amHealth partnership will also positively impact business ROI—from immediately decreasing medical costs of physician visits through virtual specialty care, to reducing pharmacy spend through direct manufacturer contracting, and ensuring their workforce is on the most cost-effective medications. Projected savings for employers per employee is $85 Per Enrolled Member Per Month with an ROI of 2.4x starting in year one.

Earlier this month, 9amHealth launched a revamped brand identity. In partnership with creative agency Red Antler, 9amHealth wanted a new look and feel that complemented the brand's ethos and continued to strengthen the growing connection they've built within the diabetes community—confirmed by their world-class NPS score of 80.5. The branding speaks directly to the daily ritual of managing diabetes while giving a nod to how 9amHealth is doing things differently through a forward-thinking, 360-degree approach to whole health.
