The Latest News from Ibis Health

The analysis of acute care utilization data shows that after joining the program, Ibis Health members experienced 10 percent fewer emergency room visits, a 30 percent fewer hospital admissions, 50 percent fewer days spent in hospitals and 55 percent fewer repeat admissions after they were discharged. Evidence also suggests that our members’ chronic conditions progressed more slowly than those who chose not to participate in the program.

The Passport is the size of a credit card and it allows members to access their self-reported vital health data on the go, creating an easy way for them to share it with medical providers or family members. Now doctors can quickly assess their patient's status and progress, making visits more efficient for our members and their providers.

Representative Kate Hogan of Stow, MA stated "This is an exciting opportunity to enhance our seniors' safety and access to health. One of the silver linings from the pandemic is the increased use of digitally-enabled health care, which gives people more tools for managing their health needs. I'm glad to see that Maynard is making digital-first services, like the Ibis Health Program, available to its health plan members to help individuals stay healthier and potentially reduce the need for costly health care services in the future."

Shawn Duhamel, Executive Director of Mass Retirees stated, “We are very excited that UniCare and Senscio have come together to offer Ibis to Medicare enrollees. As members know, we work closely with both companies. Each provides excellent service to retirees.” “For certain retirees managing chronic illnesses, Ibis Health is a fantastic and easy to use tool. If we can lower healthcare costs, while helping retirees live healthier and better lives, then that is a true win-win.”

UniCare is now offering an innovative, at-home solution to manage chronic conditions as part of its continuing efforts to improve the health of its members by simplifying the healthcare experience. Through its partnership with Senscio Systems, UniCare retiree members will have access to a new virtual chronic care management program called Ibis Health that supports each individual’s whole health through daily connected care, round-the-clock monitoring, and one-to-one monthly support.
