\nMore than 3 million health consumers have access to the 98point6 Virtual Care Platform<\/i>\n<\/p>\n

PALO ALTO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Transcarent<\/a>, a health and care experience company that makes it easy for people to access high-quality, affordable care announced plans to acquire the leading AI-powered virtual care platform and care business of on-demand primary care company, 98point6<\/a>.

<\/a><\/p>\n

The agreement will provide current 98point6 self-insured enterprise customers, health systems, and payors easy access to Transcarent\u2019s comprehensive health and care experience platform including EveryDay Care, Pharmacy Care, Care@Home, Surgery Care, and Complex Care.\n<\/p>\n

Transcarent is committed to creating an easy-to-use health and care experience that people love, that improves care, and that reduces the cost of that care,\u201d said Transcarent Chief Executive Officer, Glen Tullman. \u201cBy combining the 98point6 AI-powered virtual care technology and an affiliated group of world class physicians with Transcarent\u2019s comprehensive care platform, we will deliver consumers and employers what they really want and need. Leveraging AI to drive personalization and access to care will revolutionize the virtual care experience, for the first time combining best-in-class technology with human touch. That\u2019s a winning combination.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe can think of no better company to continue nurturing our customers and Members than Transcarent as we enter our next phase of growth, which will focus on software licensing under the 98point6 Technologies brand,\u201d said Jay Burrell, President and Chief Executive Officer of 98point6 Technologies. \u201cVirtual care is the bedrock of health care. We remain committed to innovating new technology solutions and business models that work upstream to give health care providers the infrastructure they need to succeed with consumers.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nThe 98point6 acquisition is the latest step in Transcarent\u2019s journey to design a health and care experience for health consumers while aligning with the organizations that pay for that care. Transcarent\u2019s acquisition of 98point6\u2019s industry leading care technology and the ability to closely partner with an affiliated provider group will complement its in-house capabilities and partnerships with top local providers and health systems across a full spectrum of virtual and in-person care, providing a more personalized Member health and care experience that integrates across solutions. Transcarent Members will have the flexibility to opt into a best-in-class, text-based virtual clinic experience including on-demand access to high-quality primary care anytime and anywhere in the United States, with direct access to follow-on specialty care at home or in their local communities from our provider partners including many of the leading health systems across the country.
