Hybrid Care Models – An Exciting Opportunity to Transform Healthcare and Forge New Partnerships

Purely virtual care hit real-world barriers—fragmented regulation, complex reimbursement, and the need for human connection. Hybrid care resolves the tension by integrating digital speed with in-person depth, unifying journeys, data, and workflows so payers, providers, and patients all see measurable value.

Pre-order the book

Hybrid providers are poised to become “payvidors,” integrating insurance and care delivery in one seamless, outcome-oriented experience.

The pandemic mainstreamed telehealth, but simply moving services online didn’t guarantee adherence or outcomes. Hybrid care reframes the model: a continuous, patient-centric pathway that blends virtual follow-ups with in-person touchpoints, embeds scheduling and data capture into workflows, and rides existing reimbursement rails. Born-digital operations then make it easier to harness AI, track progress for value-based contracts, and scale models investors actually back.
