New York, NY – On a mission to improve the aging-at-home experience for middle-income families, insurance product and solution innovator, HCG Secure, today announced a partnership with AI patient support platform VisitAssist. This collaboration enhances the technology benefits available to all HCG Secure policyholders, helping individuals better understand, manage, and advocate for their medical care.
VisitAssist helps people stay on track with their medical care. The platform provides easy-to-read summaries following doctor visits, and helps patients ask the right questions during appointments. Through VisitAssist, HCG Secure policyholders will now have exclusive discounted access to real-time visit support and easy-to-understand post-visit summaries. The goal: to help more people age independently, with greater confidence in their health decisions and greater compliance with their wellness goals.
Since the firm’s inception in 2020, HCG Secure has been focused on building a comprehensive approach to long-term aging, with an emphasis on both insurance coverage to pay for long-term care, as well as non-insurance offerings that support value-aligned aging. With Affiliated Partners, including Wellthy (Care Coordination Concierge), Trust & Will (Digital Estate Planning), Everest (Funeral Concierge) and others, HCG Secure offers a holistic, planning-based approach to extended care to reduce the financial and emotional burden for policyholders and their loved ones. VisitAssist will further support policyholders by increasing adherence to and comprehension of medical plans to help individuals stay healthier and more independent for longer.
“Coupling VisitAssist with HCG Secure’s insurance solutions will help lower healthcare costs over time and support the independence we all hope to maintain as we age,” said Peter Elbaor, Founder of VisitAssist. “We’re excited to be part of a holistic model that puts individuals and families in control.”
Too often seniors leave medical appointments feeling uncertain about how multiple care plans work together and they may struggle to communicate changes in care to their caregivers and families. “Having been through it with my parents, I am happy to have VisitAssist as part of HCG’s advocacy model,” says Tom Beauregard, Founder and CEO of HCG Secure, “offering families access to their loved ones medical plan will reduce confusion and uncertainty for families managing varied caregiving responsibilities while empowering policyholders to take more of a role in their medical plans. And, by incorporating innovative AI technology, policyholders can be more prepared and confident to ask clarifying questions at appointments by having access to follow-up materials free from medical jargon.”
With this addition to HCG Secure’s Advocacy Model, policyholders have an exclusive 30% discounted access, plus free two months, to this technology. Combined with the affordable premiums of HCG Secure’s products, the integrated insurance and advocacy model offers support for middle-income families who typically cannot self-fund home care, do not qualify for Medicaid or state-sponsored elder care, and may not know where to begin or how to access support for aging and the challenges associated with longevity.
