Babylon Extends Reach of U.S. Medicare Market, Caring for 19,000 More Medicare Beneficiaries through Participation in the NeueHealth Physicians Plus ACO, LLC DCE

Babylon (NYSE: BBLN) today announced that the company is now participating in the Physicians Plus ACO, LLC Direct Contracting Entity (“DCE”) as part of the Center for Medicare Services Global Professional Direct Contracting Model (GPDC). The Babylon providers participating in the DCE care for 30,000 Medicare beneficiaries (effective Jan 1, 2022). Through participation in the DCE, Babylon providers are caring for an additional 19,000 California Medicare beneficiaries who will have access to Babylon’s digital-first healthcare services.

Under the GPDC Model, health care providers are encouraged to improve the care offered to those on Medicare, especially those in underserved communities. Babylon is pursuing this mission working alongside Meritage Medical Network – a California Independent Physician Association (IPA) that Babylon has invested in – to move their in-network Medicare beneficiaries from a reactive, fee-for-service approach to the more accessible and preventative value-based model of care.

As a result of participating in the DCE, Babylon providers have the opportunity to utilize value based care solutions. Babylon providers can also leverage Babylon value based care solutions when it comes to improving care for those on Medicare plans.

“As a company, we have been heavily focused on providing better healthcare for Medicare populations that we serve,” said Ali Parsa, Founder & CEO of Babylon. “By partnering with Bright Health Group and our incredible IPA, we can now say that we’re responsible for over 30,000 Medicare lives, which means we're one step closer to making quality healthcare more accessible for all.”

Babylon developed its value based care solutions in response to a current healthcare system that focuses on reactive care to sickness and crisis. As opposed to costly sick care, Babylon provides access to high quality, end-to-end healthcare when sick or well, from any device, at no extra cost. While empowering patients with proactive care services and a dedicated Personal Care Team to help take control of their health, Babylon also helps providers achieve significant savings, better patient outcomes, and streamlined operations.
