The tool, coming this summer, arranges transportation for caregivers’ loved ones and purchases medical supplies and groceries on their behalf. The tool can also facilitate three-way chats between drivers, riders and caregivers.

Initially, Uber Caregiver will cater to Medicaid recipients, individuals aged 65 and older with Medicare Advantage and those with commercial insurance through their employers. Users can also utilize their insurance benefits to reduce out-of-pocket expenses when applicable, according to Uber.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
