Marpai Announces New Service to Fill Gaps in Care to Promote Member Health and Drive Down Healthcare Costs

TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Marpai, Inc., (“Marpai”) (Nasdaq: MRAI), a deep learning technology company transforming third-party administration in the healthcare self-funded market, announced the launch of its Gaps in Care service helping health plan members stay current with annual exams, vaccines, and health screenings. The effort is an expansion of Marpai’s premium, AI-powered services and automatically sends personalized texts and emails to remind members when it is time to make an appointment.

Marpai is an alternative to traditional TPAs (third party administrators) that promotes proactive health with AI-powered services, including the use of deep learning models to help predict near-term health risks in order to prevent and reduce costly chronic illness and procedures. The new Gaps in Care service aims to help members maintain annual health visits to stay on the best health journey and enable early detection of developing issues. Marpai is addressing an industry representing  over  $1  trillion  in  health  claims,  $20  billion  in administrative fees, and 95 million Americans.

Early intervention can prevent and reduce chronic illness and costly health events. For example, according to the American Cancer Society, when breast cancer is detected early and is in the localized stage, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%, yet the CDC reported that only 66% of women over 40 are getting annual mammograms. Colorectal cancer is the third most common form of cancer among men and women, yet only 67.4% of adults aged 50 to 75 years were up-to-date with annual screenings, according to the CDC.

“Our goal in offering this new service is to empower members to take charge of their health by providing the friendly reminders they need to take action on these important visits. We believe that when we guide members to proactive care, it ultimately creates healthier lives across diverse populations and reduces costs in the long run,” said Lisa Willet, Vice President of Population Health and Member Engagement at Marpai. Ronnie Brown, Marpai COO, adds, “Maintaining annual checkups can help people stay on top of their health and ahead of potential adverse health events, which could save money and avert real suffering.”

“We are aggressively using advanced technology to empower healthier lives and reduce costs. We believe that helping members fill these gaps in care is a big step forward in staying on the best health journey,” said Edmundo Gonzalez, CEO of Marpai.
