Beacon Health Launches: AI Agents For Primary Care

Beacon Health recently launched!

‍

^{"Value-Based Care On Autopilot"}

‍

^{TL;DR: Beacon Health is on a mission to bring joy back to primary care. They build AI agents that put their practice on autopilot - starting with value based care. Their Al agents handle workflows like quality gap closures, risk adjustment, and patient outreach, directly in the EHR. They own these workflows from end to end and just went live with an independent physician association supporting 40,000 patients.}

Founded by Mark Pothen & Obinna Akahara

Mark (CEO) grew up in his mom’s primary care practice. He spent the last 6 months embedded into a primary care practice, owning ops and augmenting them with AI. He previously worked on product and GTM @ several early stage healthcare startups.

Obinna (CTO) has built production-grade AI systems across AI, healthcare and enterprise software. He studied Physics at UT and is a proud Nigerian 🇳🇬

They are building Beacon Health to bring joy back to primary care.

The Problem

Primary care is being pushed into value-based care without the bandwidth to support it.

‍

Most practices are juggling:

• More than a dozen quality measures
• Risk adjustment requirements
• After-hours patient needs
• Fragmented EHRs and disconnected vendor tools
• everything else…

The result is predictable: Physician frustration and money left on the table in their value based contracts.

Value-based care doesn’t fail because clinicians don’t care.

It fails because the economics and operations are broken.

‍

Their Solution

Beacon Health builds AI agents for primary care.

Their Al agents handle workflows directly in the EHR. They own them from end to end - starting by putting their value based care on autopilot.

Today, Beacon helps practices:

• Close quality gaps by identifying patients who need action and executing outreach or teeing up a lab order automatically
• Capture risk adjustment codes accurately by surfacing missed documentation and coding opportunities
• Support patients after hours with triage and follow-up that doesn’t burn out staff

‍

Their agents work behind scenes, learning to use the EHR like a human would.

They meet the physicians where they’re at. No new portals. No dashboards.

Just infrastructure that makes value-based care actually work.

They string these workflows together, owning them from end to end.

‍

Their Ask

They would love to talk if you:

• Work with anyone with a risk based arrangement: Independent primary care practices, Independent Physician Association’s (also known as Physician Organizations), Accountable Care Organizations, or Integrated Networks
• Are a physician or operator struggling with the administrative burden of value based care.
• Advise, invest in, or lead teams building the future of primary care
