Health care is fragmented and confusing - so it is no wonder that:
  • Only 12% of American adults have the skills to manage their own health care proficiently1
  • Only 55% of Americans receive recommended care2
  • Only 50% of patients with chronic disease are managed adequately3
  • Only 50% of patients understand their doctor's advice
  • 42% of primary care physicians report spending inadequate time with patients
  • 25-50% of health care spending could be avoided if patients always had the right care at the right time

We don't think it should be that way, so we created Accolade: a company of Personal Health Assistants who work with employees and their families one-on-one to help them get the right care at the right time by helping coordinate each member's care and benefits. We provide each member with their own Accolade Health Assistant - one individual, supported by a team of experts, who is able to connect the dots between coverage, expense, options, and personal circumstances to improve the processes that drive health care costs.
