Transforming Advance Care Planning with Digital Innovation

“When I saw the Koda platform. I was so thrilled for two major things one being the explanatory videos of Medical Treatments. Showing the benefits and burdens. The other thing was the ability to integrate the plans into our electronic medical record because one of the huge barriers in this country has been accessibility. So when we found Koda it was like, my gosh, This is perfect.”

“In many provider scenarios, the start of the ACP conversation is lost to follow-up. I was inspired by Koda as a platform that also embedded the necessary signatures to include having the document notarized. I thought that if we could achieve a higher percentage of our Medicare patients who are getting older to understand ACP and complete, then we could honor their choices.”

“We are always looking for new ways to engage our patients and make them feel supported.
The unique challenges of COVID-19 heightened the need for innovation in this area. We believe Koda Health will give patients the tools to make sure their wishes are carried forth and the burden is removed from their families to make those decisions.”

“For our population in Medicare – where they tend to have multiple chronic conditions it’s even more important that these people have these plans in place and that they discuss them with their caregivers before something critical happens and not during some critical illness.
We’re looking to expand broadly across all of our Cigna Medicare customers. So that’s where we’re focused, and we’re focused on remaining a partner with Koda for that reason.”
