Embold Health, a physician analytics company, is expanding its partnership with retail giant Walmart to add 42,000 Walmart associates to its program.
The company is now working with the Walmart Health Plan in 11 markets and allowing 215,000 members of the Walmart Health Plan to use Embold's analytics to choose physicians. The latest expansion of the Walmart and Embold partnership began Jan. 1, according to a Jan. 31 Embold news release.
Embold founder and CEO Daniel Stein, MD, previously served as the chief medical officer of Walmart Care Clinics, according to his LinkedIn.
"Walmart has long been an innovator in providing quality healthcare coverage to its associates, and we are proud to expand our partnership with them," Dr. Stein said. "They were one of the first companies to see the rigor behind our physician quality analytics and its effectiveness in putting together networks of high-performing doctors for their associates."
