Evergrove: Instant healthcare for all, starting with work comp

Instant healthcare for all, starting with work comp

We've built voice agents for the largest work comp managed care orgs and specialist PT networks in the country, making >500K calls annually and accelerating the speed at which they coordinate care. On average, our customers see a 40% increase in workflow completion, 10x decrease in cycle times, and >60% reduction in cost. We think voice agents are the starting point for solving slow and fragmented care coordination in this market. Companies that manage an injured worker's care rely on short-staffed contact centres and archaic methods of info exchange: phone, fax, and email. Every delay along the path of care leads to slower rehab of the injured worker, lower throughput for providers, and higher expense for the insurer/employer.

Company Launches

Evergrove: Interoperability for work comp

See original launch post

We’re keeping this short and sweet. We build voice agents to overcome slow and fragmented care coordination in workers’ comp. Some key points:

We’re on track to make >500K calls annually, helping customers get to >60% reduction in cost and 40%+ improvement in workflow completion.
Our customers are some of the largest managed care orgs, specialty networks, and ancillary service providers in the work comp space.
We’re ex-Newfront, where we pioneered agents that were cited in the $1.3B acquisition press release. We’ve spent our careers inside commercial insurance.

Our mission is to have Evergrove agents powering comms between every entity on the post-claim care pathway. If you want to learn more about how we’re seeing early network effects, reach out at sid@evergrovelabs.com.
