NEW YORK—Ash, a provider of at-home care delivery, announced a partnership with Innovaccer, a health care artificial intelligence (AI) platform company. The collaboration will integrate Ash's end-to-end at-home health testing solution within Galaxy, Innovaccer's AI platform that unites payer risk adjustment and HEDIS (health care effectiveness data and information set) management.
The partnership is aimed to directly address the industry-wide challenge of operationalizing diagnostic programs to close care gaps effectively and at scale. Payers no longer have to worry about their information technology (IT) teams spending weeks transforming eligibility files. Galaxy's integration handles this requirement automatically, freeing up IT resources and providing faster implementation during crucial times such as year-end.
"According to Grand View Research, the global at-home testing market is expected to reach over $18 billion by 2030, reflecting a dramatic shift towards health care in the home," Ash said in a released statement. "This partnership is built to help health plans meet this demand, and signifies a major evolution in gap closure initiatives, positioning at-home health testing programs (such as A1C, FIT and kidney-health screenings) as core components of an enterprise-grade multipoint gap closure engine, rather than standalone initiatives."
Ash is now directly integrated within Galaxy’s MultiPoint Gap Closure platform, enabling health plans to launch and manage testing programs not just across provider offices and community pharmacies, but in member homes from a single, unified command center.
"By integrating Ash at-home test kits directly into Galaxy’s unified workflow, we are enabling payers to take a proactive approach to member care," said Michelle Zilisch, vice president of the payer market for Innovaccer. "This seamless integration significantly accelerates the ability to close quality and risk gaps, ensuring payers can quickly identify and intervene with members who need timely support, ultimately improving outcomes."
"With this partnership, payers and providers can operationalize at-home testing programs as an embedded component of the quality-measures engine, rather than an add-on," said Kyle Waters, CPO at Ash. "Ash’s strength in logistics, lab connectivity and data exchange complements Innovaccer’s intelligence layer. The result is health screening at scale, with enterprise-grade interoperability and audit-ready compliance.”
