The technology also powered Clover’s PPO Medicare Advantage plan to maintain the nation’s top HEDIS score.

In 2025, Counterpart Health recorded a greater than 450% year-over-year increase in live third-party customer clinicians, expanding its AI-powered physician-enablement platform to hundreds of providers across multiple states. The company published three new retrospective analyses demonstrating statistically significant improvements in chronic disease management, reinforcing its position as a leader in value-based care delivery and driving broader recognition among payers and provider organizations.

2. Measurable Clinical Quality and Cost Outcomes

Additionally, all-cause hospitalizations for congestive heart failure were 18% lower and for COPD 15% lower, with 30-day readmissions decreasing by 25% for heart failure and 18% for COPD. In high Area Deprivation Index neighborhoods, diagnosis rates for four major chronic conditions were 70–89% higher when PCPs leveraged the platform’s insights.
