About Pair Team

Pair Team is revolutionizing healthcare by building a comprehensive system for Medicaid, Medicare, and public assistance programs. We recognize that social determinants of health, such as housing, food security, and transportation, are as vital as medical care. As an AI-enabled medical group and a public benefit corporation, we collaborate with community organizations to deliver "whole-person" care to millions of Americans. Our innovative model integrates fragmented healthcare and social services into a single, trusted relationship, improving access, building trust, and significantly reducing healthcare costs.

We are driven by an AI-first, whole-person infrastructure that connects healthcare and social service organizations into a unified network. This platform leverages vast data and operational experience to coordinate care, automate operations, and continuously improve patient outcomes.
