Counterpart Health, Inc., the world’s leading AI-powered physician enablement platform, announced a partnership with The Iowa Clinic, P.C. This partnership positions The Iowa Clinic as Counterpart’s anchor partner in a broader strategic expansion across the Midwest.

The Iowa Clinic is a frequent collaborator in national research and an early adopter of advanced diagnostic technologies. The Iowa Clinic will implement Counterpart Assistant, Counterpart Health’s cutting-edge cloud-based software platform, to clinicians serving its Medicare Advantage and Medicare Shared Savings Program patients. The platform will also be made available to The Iowa Clinic’s clinically integrated network partners throughout the Midwest. 

Built on technology originally developed by Clover Health, Counterpart Assistant is an AI-enabled solution designed to seamlessly integrate into physicians’ workflows, supporting earlier diagnosis and management of chronic diseases, and is currently used by thousands of physicians as part of their daily workflow to enhance patient care. By leveraging insights from more than a hundred data sources and utilizing over one hundred machine learning models, providers using Counterpart Assistant can identify, diagnose, and treat some of the most costly chronic diseases earlier, resulting in over 1,000 basis point medical cost ratio (MCR) differential between returning members whose PCPs use Counterpart Assistant versus those members whose PCPs do not.

“We take great pride in being a leader in the adoption of innovative medical technologies and treatments, always with the aim of elevating the quality of care our patients receive,” said Ben Vallier, CEO of The Iowa Clinic, P.C. “Counterpart’s ability to harness clinical data to drive improved outcomes, combined with its intuitive design that understands the needs of practicing clinicians, stood out among other potential solutions, and makes it a perfect fit for our organization. We are very optimistic about the immediate and long-term clinical and financial value it will bring to our providers and patients alike.”
