Collaboration to drive value-based care that improves outcomes, costs, access and health equity for ABA's employer clients powered by Health at Scale's best-in-class machine intelligence

SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Health at Scale, the market leader in machine intelligence for value-based care delivery, today announced a partnership with Assured Benefits Administrators (ABA), a leading national third party administrator providing flexible and fully integrated healthcare administration and management solutions to employers across the United States, to bring AI-powered smart health plan administration capabilities to ABA members.

Through the partnership, ABA's employer clients will have access to Health at Scale's industry-leading artificial intelligence and machine learning-powered Precision Intelligence™ to improve employee health plan administration through smart, proactive, customized, hyper-personalized care insights for provider navigation, reducing gaps in care, preventing low-value care, increasing health literacy, and empowering employees and dependents with a personalized care experience that puts them in the center, one member at a time, of care that works for them.

With employers reporting the highest annual increase in per-employee health costs in over a decade in 2022, Health at Scale's Precision Intelligence™ offers employer health plans a transformational opportunity to improve outcomes, driving lower costs with higher satisfaction and productivity through AI-based personalization. Health at Scale's machine intelligence goes beyond existing tools for health plan administration with a deeply contextualized and clinically-nuanced understanding of the patient, provider, time and setting of care for each service – going beyond one-size-fits-all, cookie-cutter approaches of the past with real-time hyper-personalized information for patients and care managers.

"As healthcare costs continue to rise for employers, innovative technology needs to rise to the challenge of making healthcare affordable through better outcomes, experiences and equity -- rather than the broken paradigm of higher deductibles, lower coverages, and increased premiums," said Zeeshan Syed, Chief Executive Officer at Health at Scale. "We strongly believe that sustainable healthcare costs can only result from smarter health plan administration that understands each patient's unique needs and circumstances in the moment. ABA's track record of administering innovative self-funded health plans makes them the perfect partner for us."

"ABA is looking forward to our partnership with Health at Scale. ABA has a deep focus on executing cost containment strategies with superior member experiences," said Jesse Jay Beck, Chief Growth Officer at ABA. "The Health at Scale-ABA partnership will help facilitate this and ensure that patients are navigated to providers that have a track record of providing quality outcomes."
