Case Study: Medicare Health Plan lowers inpatient admissions and boosts medication adherence with Wellth

Medicare Health Plan Lowers Inpatient Admissions and Boosts Medication Adherence with Wellth

A regional Medicare health plan was struggling with low medication adherence, rising inpatient hospitalizations, and difficulty engaging its high-risk members. To address these challenges and contain rising medical costs, the health plan partnered with Wellth, a digital health platform that uses behavioral science and financial incentives to drive healthy habits.

By providing members with daily nudges and rewards for medication adherence, Wellth achieved significant results. The program led to year-over-year improvements of 1-4% in medication adherence, an expected 12.8% decrease in inpatient admissions, and generated PMPM savings for the health plan, demonstrating Wellth's effective approach to improving member outcomes.
