Our take
Healthcare and insurance can be tricky to navigate, especially for the eldest and most vulnerable. That's what WelbeHealth aims to change with its healthcare management program for seniors.
It markets its program as ‘PACE’ - that’s Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly - which means that once a patient signs up, WelbeHealth coordinates and pays for all their healthcare, taking pressure off the patient and caregivers. It’s covered under Medicare and Medi-Cal and puts a strong focus on coordinating support to help patients stay at home and remain an active part of their community.
There’s a wide market for healthcare management, particularly healthcare for seniors. WelbeHealth’s offer has raised impressive funds and seen solid growth and community impact. In 2023, it bolstered its growth with new hires in key leadership positions, indicating its attractiveness for medical science and technology leaders.
