A connected path from healthcare to life and work support.
IHIncluded Health+AllsupPartnership concept
How the pathway could work

One connected pathway. Clear roles. Human support.

Step 1

Identify

Included Health recognizes that a member's healthcare issue may be affecting work, income, insurance coverage, or government-benefit eligibility.

  • Member directly asks for help
  • Care Advocate identifies a potential need
  • Member selects a relevant digital-support topic
  • Employer or health plan sends approved educational outreach

This does not involve automated medical surveillance.

Step 2

Explain

The member receives a plain-language explanation of available support.

Based on what you shared, you may benefit from speaking with a specialist who understands disability benefits, Medicare, and work-transition programs. Would you like us to connect you?

Step 3

Consent

The member chooses whether to proceed. Consent is explicit, and the member sees exactly what limited information will be shared.

  • Name
  • Contact information
  • State
  • Employer or plan affiliation
  • General support category
  • Preferred contact method

Clinical information is never shared automatically.

Step 4

Connect

Three potential referral models could apply, depending on the member's need and the pilot's design.

  • Model A: Digital referral
  • Model B: Warm transfer
  • Model C: Scheduled specialist appointment

Step 5

Support

Allsup provides the appropriate specialty service — disability guidance, SSDI support, Medicare transition help, or veterans appeal assistance.

Step 6

Close the loop

With member permission and appropriate agreements, a limited status may return to Included Health.

  • Referral received
  • Member contacted
  • Consultation scheduled
  • Member declined further support
  • Service engagement started

No detailed claim or medical information is displayed.

Clear data boundaries, by design.

Included Health data

Clinical navigation records stay within Included Health's systems.

Member-consented referral information

Only what the member explicitly agrees to share moves across the boundary.

Allsup service data

Case and service data related to Allsup's specialty support stays within Allsup's systems.

Shared limited status information

A small set of high-level statuses — never detailed claim or medical data — may flow back.

Business-associate and data-sharing obligations are to be determined. A production partnership would require legal, privacy, security, regulatory, and contractual review.
