apree health, a leading provider of clinical advocacy, health navigation and advanced primary care, is proud to announce Employer Direct Healthcare (EDH) has joined their landscape of ecosystem partners.
According to recent research by the Business Group on Health, half of all employers identify cancer care as the primary driver of healthcare costs, with surgery closely following suit. In response to this growing demand for specialized solutions, EDH and apree health are collaborating to offer a comprehensive approach that addresses these cost drivers while improving the overall healthcare experience for employers and their members.
EDH is a digital health company that facilitates access to high-quality specialist networks for members of self-funded plans, with a focus on surgery and cancer care. Through this integration, workforces with access to EDH’s SurgeryPlus or Cancer Care Direct will now have seamless sign-in capability via their apree navigation platform. EDH members will further benefit from apree’s signature care coordination experience. This includes personalized, data-driven prompts through apree’s app and recommendations and guidance from apree’s Care Guides to increase engagement and further guide members through the complexities of their surgery or oncology journeys. Through this integration, employers and health plans will also benefit from incentivization of healthy outcomes, simplified procurement, and administrative support.
“Our partnership with EDH represents a step forward in our mission to provide individuals with personalized, integrated, and coordinated care experiences,” said Johnny Kaye, SVP solution management at apree health. “By combining our clinical advocacy and navigation expertise with EDH’s renowned surgical and oncology solutions, we’re supercharging individual members’ abilities to take control of their health journeys.”
