Core offering

GroundGame.Health delivers social care coordination services that connect health plans, providers, employers, and community-based organizations to address social determinants of health (SDOH) and close gaps in care. Its proprietary Implify® platform coordinates referrals, tracks outcomes, and routes funding from healthcare buyers to community partners, while care coordinators and Community Health Workers deliver human-to-human support. The combined entity post-merger with SameSky Health operates across all 50 U.S. states, serving Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, Commercial, Dual, and Marketplace populations.

Product overview

GroundGame.Health operates as a social care platform combining a proprietary technology platform (Implify®) with human-to-human care coordination to connect health plans, providers, employers, and community-based organizations (CBOs) in addressing social determinants of health. The company offers text messaging services as a member engagement channel and employs a 'Right Touch' model that stratifies members by support level (digital self-service, telephonic outreach, or in-person care coordination). Following the merger with SameSky Health in April 2024, the combined entity integrates SameSky's culturally tailored engagement approach with GroundGame.Health's national CBO network and technology infrastructure to deliver personalized, hyperlocal social care at scale across all lines of business (Medicaid, Medicare, Commercial, and Duals).
