SeeChange Health, the leader in value-based health management, announced that it has secured $20 million in Series B financing from new investor Maverick Capital and continued participation from Psilos Group. SeeChange Health will use the capital to further enable the company’s next stage of growth and on-going product development initiatives.
“SeeChange Health brings a much needed change in health engagement and health care accountability,” said Maverick Capital managing director, Eric Kim. “Unlike other health insurance or wellness products, SeeChange Health’s value-based products and services are engaging individuals in proactive health management and focusing on early detection of chronic conditions. SeeChange Health actually provides incentives for their members to see their doctor. Our investment will further enable SeeChange Health’s next stage of growth.”
The next generation health engagement platform developed by SeeChange Health is completely customizable allowing employers to design a health incentive program that best suits the culture of their organization. SeeChange Health’s new offering for health-insurers, third-party administrators and employers uses proprietary analytics to identify markers for potential increases in company health care costs and to create Personalized Health Action Plans.
SeeChange Health helps employers and health plans proactively manage health and reduce health care costs by creating Personalized Health Actions Plans uniquely designed based on an employee’s health status and rewarding individuals for successful completion of their Health Actions. The value-based programs are completely customized to address personal health, manage chronic conditions, and engage individuals in lifestyle and behavior programs all leading to a healthier workforce and lower health care costs. Individuals earn financial rewards simply by completing a Health Questionnaire, a Biometric Screening (basic lab tests) and Health Actions unique to their age, gender, lifestyles, and as applicable, chronic condition management. Regardless of a person’s health status, financial incentives are earned through engagement of personal health management.
“SeeChange Health is benefiting from the focus and attention employers are placing on workforce wellness and lifestyle management. Most employers today are searching for creative ways to incent their employees for living healthier lifestyles. Employers recognize behavior change is necessary to achieving a lasting reduction in health care costs,” said Al Waxman, senior managing member of Psilos and chairman of SeeChange Health’s board of directors. SeeChange Health creates a Personalized Health Action Plan that is unique to an individual. A variety of incentives are provided when employees complete their Health Actions. Individual accountability for health is a great step toward controlling soaring health care costs.
“The knowledge and experience Maverick Capital brings to SeeChange Health will assist us greatly as we position our company for significant membership growth and on-going product development initiatives,” said Martin Watson, SeeChange Health’s chief executive officer. “Maverick’s support will be instrumental as we continue to focus our efforts on growth and our ability to be the market-leader in value-based health care solutions. SeeChange Health is well positioned to provide employers, health plans, and third-party administrators a solution for rewarding healthy behavior and engaging in proactive health management.”
