Our take

Over 80M people in the U.S. receive healthcare coverage from Medicaid (and that’s only predicted to grow). However, in reality, that care is provided by an immensely fragmented group of privately run primary care providers (PCP).

Waymark is improving care through building technology and infrastructure services for these providers. For example, where local doctors need to connect with local pharmacists to manage a diabetic Medicaid receiver’s insulin swings, communications and prescriptions will all be executed through the Waymark platform.

After a series of successful pilots, Waymark is looking to scale significantly. That means racking up dozens of contract relationships with PCPs and using the data from tens of thousands of patients to further refine the product for national scale impact.

As Waymark’s leadership admits, there are many chasms on the road from academic publication to implementation at scale. However, the widespread enthusiasm for adopting systems that will help Medicaid fulfil its potential for millions of Americans will give the company confidence as it moves forward.
