Daily motivation and rewards increase medication adherence, lower hospitalizations<\/h4>\n

Springfield, MA (March 17, 2025) \u2013 Health New England is expanding its partnership with Wellth<\/a>, a daily motivation science-based app that has successfully improved health outcomes and reduced health care costs for its members. Initially available to members in its BeHealthy Partnership<\/a> plan (Health New England\u2019s Medicaid ACO), the Wellth program is now expanding to eligible members with the company\u2019s Medicare Advantage<\/a> coverage.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wellth provides a customized, user-friendly digital health solution that rewards members with certain health conditions for completing daily health activities such as taking medications as prescribed, monitoring blood pressure, or other healthy habits. The Wellth Rewards Program aims to encourage preventive care, reduce the likelihood of hospital visits, and empower members to take control of their health. Participants can earn up to $360 in rewards per year simply by completing tasks and tracking their progress in the app.<\/p>\n

For the more than 1,000 Health New England members currently using Wellth, results show significant health improvements:<\/p>\n

\u2022 24% decrease in inpatient hospital stays
\n\u2022 14% increase in diabetes medication adherence
\n\u2022 20% reduction in emergency department visits
\n\u2022 21% increase in adherence to antidepressant medications<\/p>\n

With more than 80% of participants managing three or more chronic conditions, these small daily reminders and incentives are making a measurable impact on health outcomes and cost savings.<\/p>\n

\u201cHelping our members stay engaged in their health can be challenging, but it\u2019s essential,\u201d said Dr. Chrystal Wittcopp, Health New England\u2019s Medicaid Medical Director. \u201cThe Wellth app offers a creative, low-cost way to keep people invested in their well-being, and we are excited to expand it to more members with Medicare Advantage coverage who have complex health needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHealth New England\u2019s members have proven the value of Wellth\u2019s digital solution to improving health and well-being,\u201d said Wellth CEO and Co-Founder Matt Loper. \u201cWe are proud to provide simple yet effective reminders and rewards that encourage people to take the steps their doctors recommend to be healthier.
