NEW YORK, Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Rightway, a company transforming care navigation and pharmacy benefits, announced a strategic partnership with Curai Health, an AI-powered virtual clinic to maximize member outcomes and reduce costs.

Members can access Curai for virtual urgent care 24/7 through the Rightway app. Within minutes, members can connect with a Curai MD, DO, or ARNP for diagnosis, treatment, prescriptions, and follow-ups as needed. Rightway nurses ensure seamless post-visit support by coordinating prescriptions, labs, imaging, referrals, and driving members to third-party solutions when applicable to enhance ongoing care.

Rightway provides members with a clinical care team and a user-friendly platform that serves as a single entry point to healthcare that consolidates and centralizes all benefit offerings.

Rightway Care Navigation helps enhance satisfaction with healthcare benefits, improve care utilization, and reduce out-of-pocket costs, resulting in measurable ROI. Rightway streamlines the members' healthcare journey by coordinating with providers, scheduling appointments, and directing members to the highest-quality, cost-effective care—saving time and costs for both members and their plan sponsors.

"Our partnership with Curai Health provides our members with expanded access to best-in-class healthcare that suits their needs," said Paula Bush, EVP of Navigation Strategy and Delivery at Rightway. "Curai's chat-first model allows for flexibility in care delivery without sacrificing quality. Merging forces with Curai represents a major step in revolutionizing care delivery and navigation."

As the pioneer in deploying machine learning into clinical workflows, Curai partners with health plans and health systems to keep patients engaged in their care over time, improving health outcomes and reducing costs. Since its founding in 2017, Curai Health has delivered on-demand, affordable, and high-quality virtual primary and urgent care. Curai Health uses AI to superpower patient care teams that are led by dedicated, specially trained, licensed clinicians. By combining the expertise of clinicians with the efficiencies of artificial intelligence, Curai Health delivers a level of care beyond what's humanly possible.

"Our healthcare system has a major problem in getting the right care to people seamlessly," said Neal Khosla, CEO and cofounder of Curai Health. "We're excited to be working with Rightway to help reinvent access to high-quality, personalized care."
