A growing roster of high-touch clinical programs now includes best-in-class solutions across cancer care, autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, gastrointestinal health, musculoskeletal care, and family building – all available through and connected by Judi®, Judi Health’s unified benefits platform.

NEW YORK: #clinicalprograms--Judi Health™, the enterprise health technology company and benefits administrator, today announced three new partners to its clinical ecosystem, expanding access to best-in-class, specialized care programs. New partners include Color Health, the operator of the nation's first ASCO-Certified Virtual Cancer Clinic; WellTheory, a solution dedicated to autoimmune and inflammatory conditions; and Cylinder, a gastrointestinal care program recently acquired by Hinge Health. All three solutions are immediately available to Judi Health plan sponsors seeking more innovative benefit designs and more personalized, condition-specific support for their members.

Color Health, WellTheory, and Cylinder join existing solutions, including Sword Health’s AI-powered musculoskeletal care and Progyny’s personalized fertility and family-building, maternity, and menopause/midlife solutions, among others.

These additions come as employer plan sponsors face projected healthcare cost increases by >7% next year and new requirements to evaluate the reasonableness of plan expenditures under the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2026. To help manage rising costs and offer competitive benefits packages, many plan sponsors add virtual health solutions to prevent downstream healthcare spending, and they end up managing an expensive, often disconnected patchwork of vendors, apps, and care providers used by their members. Not only has fatigue set in, but care can be fragmented, and plan members are often confused about or unaware of available benefits. As a result, engagement stays low, and valuable care goes unrendered.

“Health benefits should be transparent, configurable, and supported by infrastructure that promotes connectivity and places member care and outcomes above all else,” said AJ Loiacono, CEO of Judi Health. “For too long, employers have had to manage fragmented point solutions that only add to their administrative burdens. With our Judi® platform, plan sponsors finally have the flexibility they need to easily ‘plug in’ best-in-class care programs.”

Modern Enterprise Health Technology Promotes Choice and Prioritizes Health Outcomes

Judi Health offers a clinical ecosystem of specialized programs for plan sponsors to choose from, as well as the flexibility to connect with any care provider an employer or health plan may need to make accessible to their plan members. The highly configurable, cloud-based Judi platform makes this possible while limiting administrative complexity.

"Judi is purpose-built to give employer plan sponsors, health plans, third-party administrators, and others an unmatched level of flexibility in benefit design,” said Sara Izadi, PharmD, Chief Clinical Officer at Judi Health. “By integrating new partners with our clinical resources, connecting data sources, and sharing information with stakeholders in real time, we are addressing the most pressing chronic conditions and health concerns to improve care delivery nationwide.”

With Unified Claims Processing™, Judi Health can support clinical programs spanning pharmacy, medical, vision, and dental benefits, allowing plan sponsors to add condition-specific support as members’ needs evolve, without introducing administrative complexity, redundant enrollment processes, or fragmenting care. Additionally, plan members can finally have a single view of their benefits through Judi Care Navigation.

Each of Judi Health’s newest clinical partners has demonstrated an ability to drive clinical engagement, reduce healthcare spending, and deliver meaningful ROI for plan sponsors.

• Color Health’s oncologist-led virtual cancer care, including the nation's first ASCO-Certified Virtual Cancer Clinic, has been shown to increase cancer screening rates by up to 77% and speed diagnosis following an abnormal result. Color's clinical team and expert network provide ongoing multidisciplinary review of every diagnosis and at each treatment decision point. This generates an average cost savings of $62,000 per patient through clinical interventions that result in more effective care.1,2
• Cylinder’s on-demand GI care has shown that over 85% of members report symptom improvement within 90 days, along with a 25% reduction in GI pharmacy spend.3,4
• Progyny’s comprehensive suite of women's health and family-building solutions has proven that members conceive faster, experience significantly fewer miscarriages, and have healthier pregnancies and babies – e.g., a 23% higher live birth rate than the national average.5
• Sword Health’s virtual musculoskeletal care has been shown to cut MSK spend by 50% and surgery costs by 30%, according to an independent 2024 analysis.6
• WellTheory’s virtual care for more than 100 autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, delivered by a team of autoimmune experts, has led to 64% fewer emergency room visits among members and reduced use of high-cost biologic drugs.7

“Cancer is one of the most costly and complex areas of healthcare, yet most employers don’t have a single, fully accountable partner for cancer management,” said Rebecca Miksad, MD, Color Chief Medical Officer. “Color’s Virtual Cancer Clinic was built to address this problem. Integrating Color’s clinical services with Judi Health’s benefits platform will help members at every phase of cancer, from early detection, through active treatment and survivorship management, giving employers the most effective way to lower costs while improving outcomes.”

“Joining Judi Health’s unified benefits platform gives us a powerful opportunity to connect digestive health with the broader medical and pharmacy experience,” said Hau Liu, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Cylinder Health, a subsidiary of Hinge Health. “Employers face rising costs from digestive health conditions, biologics, and the growing use of GLP-1s, where GI side effects are common. Integrating expert digestive care can help members stay on therapy when appropriate, manage symptoms, and get the right care at the right time.”

"Getting specialty drug spend under control is a top priority for plan sponsors, and autoimmune and inflammatory conditions sit at the top of that list," said Ellen Rudolph, CEO and co-founder of WellTheory. "Partnering with Judi Health lets us plug directly into their unified benefits infrastructure, making it seamless for plan sponsors to deploy our proactive care model. Together we can reach members earlier, provide clinical wraparound support for the patients who need it most, and meaningfully reduce total cost of care for one of the most expensive populations a plan covers."
