Our approach

Prioritizing whole-person health

Whole health is a simple concept: everything has an impact on a person’s well-being. Putting whole health into practice on a larger scale isn’t always so simple. At Skai, we understand what it takes to address all the ways that biology, lifestyle, behavior, the environment and other factors contribute to a person’s health—and how to break through the complexity to support members in all the ways they need it.

How Skai prioritizes whole-person health

  • Treating each facet of health as part of a collective care journey, not in silos
  • Providing real, live support from real humans who meet member needs with compassion and equity 
  • Offering community support and curated solutions that help members get the best care for their whole health
  • Understanding the impact of nontraditional modalities—such as complementary and integrative health—and how they complement overall well-being

Medical care only affects 20% of health outcomes. The remaining 80% stem from social drivers of health.

Radically effective engagement

Engagement is one of, if not the most important factor in driving better health outcomes. At Skai, we’re transforming traditional approaches to engagement to help turn passive members into active healthcare consumers.

How Skai fosters better engagement and outcomes

  • Leveraging data in newer, smarter ways to connect with members through relevant and rewarding outreach
  • Tailoring messaging and care strategies to populations and sub-segments down to the member level
  • Understanding member communication preferences and reaching out via channels they are most receptive to
  • Fostering an ongoing relationship by ensuring a reliably positive healthcare experience 
  • Using next-level integration to create a seamless member experience

65% of Americans say coordinating and managing their health and the healthcare system is overwhelming and time-consuming.

How Skai cultivates transparency and trust

We’re not only people-first at Skai—we’re partnership-first. We work closely with each national employer, tailoring through a strategic lens based on our clients’ best interests.

How we prioritize transparency and trust at Skai

  • Structuring our operations to be more nimble and customizable to national employer needs
  • Establishing flexible, direct contracting with any point solutions, meaning zero administrative burden for clients
  • Diving deep into our clients’ needs and providing strategic solutions based on those needs—not on larger trends alone
  • Giving our clients the same level of transparency members expect from their health plan—and more—so they always understand the true value of what they’re getting
  • Providing an interdisciplinary team of experts to cater to each client

Health plans must shift from a one-size-fits-all approach, to a more tailored strategy that addresses individual preferences and requirements.
