How the partnership works
Through its unified benefits platform, Judi Health enables plan sponsors to add specialized clinical programs while limiting administrative complexity. Its Unified Claims Processing™ architecture can support programs spanning pharmacy and medical benefits without introducing redundant enrollment processes or further fragmenting care. Members can also access a single view of their benefits through Judi Care Navigation.
“Joining Judi Health’s unified benefits platform gives us a powerful opportunity to connect digestive health with the broader medical and pharmacy experience. 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.”
Hau Liu, MD — Chief Medical Officer, Cylinder Health, a subsidiary of Hinge Health
