About Pair Team
At Pair Team, weâre an innovative, mission-driven company reimagining how Medicaid and Medicare serves the most underserved populations. As a tech-enabled medical group, we deliver whole-person care - clinical, behavioral, and social - by partnering with organizations deeply connected to the communities we serve.
Weâre building a care model that empowers clinicians and care teams to do what they do best: provide compassionate, high-impact care. At Pair Team, we leverage AI and automation to reduce administrative burden, streamline coordination, and ensure patients receive timely, personalized support.
Our work is powered by a deeply collaborative team of nurses, social workers, community health workers, and medical professionals working alongside product, technology, and operations to close care gaps and improve outcomes for high-need patients.
Weâre one of the largest Enhanced Care Management providers in California and are on track to build the nationâs largest clinically integrated network supporting high-need patients. Â Our model has demonstrated real impact, including a 58% reduction in emergency department visits and a 29% reduction in hospital admissions.
At Pair Team, were not just delivering care - weâre building the future of more equitable, community-driven healthcare.
