Spoke Health's unique position to create a transparent, efficient and engaging marketplace for high quality, low cost care episodes leverages the company's roots in global medical tourism. The company's founders built the core technology platform after experiencing high quality healthcare abroad from hospitals offering pre-packaged, bundled care services, transparent costs, cash pay and open market competition. In 2016 Spoke Health was launched in the US market to address the unsustainable healthcare cost crisis and the demand for new care and payment models by employers, who cover over 150 million people.

"We started with the $700B surgery market, which represents the largest healthcare spend category for employers and their biggest opportunity to cut costs, in some cases by 50%," said Jason Coppage, Spoke Health's co-founder and Chief Product Officer. "Our software went live in April and is being used by our partners and a large health system to engage employees toward better outcomes for expensive hip and knee surgeries. The technology automates the entire episode experience and offers robust workflow along with 'high tech and high touch' consumer interactions. In fact, early results for the nearly 30 patients and 26 care advocate and concierge users leveraging the platform demonstrate a 10x increase in touchpoints to better engage employees in their care episode, resulting in reduced complications and greater overall satisfaction."

"Spoke Health's platform helps health systems, TPAs, payers and other benefits providers package and automate value-based programs at scale for their employer clients.The solution includes three main capabilities: robust digital consumer tools, care and concierge workflow and dashboards, and provider contract administration capabilities that efficiently display and manage componentized costs for bundled contracts ," said Greg Mogab, Spoke Health's co-founder and Chief Technology Officer. "We wake up every day highly motivated to build powerful, easy-to-use SaaS technology that takes the hassle out of the US healthcare system and creates great consumer experiences even during a stressful care event."
