Pelica

Pelica is the AI operating system for value-based care, and HealthCare Partners, one of the Northeast's largest independent medical groups, runs on it. This is their story, and our launch. HealthCare Partners manages about 200,000 lives across roughly 1,000 providers in the five boroughs and Long Island. They put their quality, pharmacy, nursing, and risk teams on one system and went live in two weeks. Pelica brings claims, EHR, pharmacy, lab, and hospital data into one record, then runs AI agents that do the work: capturing risk, closing care gaps, and making member outreach calls in the member's language. A person steps in only when one is genuinely needed. What changed for HealthCare Partners, in their own words: • Weekly admin that took about 8 hours now takes 15 minutes • 120+ hours of manual note-taking saved in a single month • Notes written and filed about 10 seconds after each call • Real lift on adherence and quality, year over year • Live in two weeks from signing "Pelica felt like an extension of our team. You don't just get software, you get partners." - Alex Wiggall, SVP, Quality & Clinical Revenue Integrity, HealthCare Partners Pelica unifies risk adjustment, Stars and quality, pharmacy and Part D, provider network, and care management on one record, plus an AI data analyst you can ask anything in plain English. HIPAA-compliant, SOC 2 Type II, and RADV-defensible. Who's behind Pelica: Pelica is built by Catherine Zhao (CEO) and Lalit Kundu (CTO).
