Uber Health has launched Uber Caregiver, a new solution that targets caregivers.
Beginning this summer, care-receivers will have the ability to add a caregiver to their Uber profile, allowing them to request and monitor rides and deliveries, as well as apply the care-receiver’s eligible health benefits for payment.
The solution is designed to help patients maximize their ancillary healthcare benefits and to improve the care experience for caregivers and care-receivers alike, Uber Health said.
The company says this is the just beginning of Uber Health’s efforts to address caregivers’ pain points. In the coming months, the organization will begin working with Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, and commercial plans to provide enhanced support to caregivers in the United States.
Caregivers will have the ability to coordinate transportation on behalf of a loved one on the Uber app beginning this summer. Additional capabilities will roll out later this year.
