Wellth provides hospital discharge programs for patients with serious health conditions post-discharge, like those following a major surgery or adverse event. Through its partnership with G8Way, Wellth will offer incremental cash incentives through G8Way’s Healthy Lifestyle branded and reloadable prepaid cards. The collaboration aims to enhance patient engagement with discharge protocols.
“Readmissions lead to over $40 billion in additional hospital costs annually here in the U.S.,” Matt Loper, CEO of Wellth, said in a prepared statement. “Wellth’s innovative mobile solutions, leveraging incremental incentives to drive compliance in hospital discharge protocols, enable us to save hospitals as much as $3,000 per patient per year.”
