Marpai, Inc., an AI-technology company transforming self-funded employer health plans, announces the addition of Virta Health as a Premium Health Partner to improve health outcomes for health plan members with diabetes. Virta offers a breakthrough approach that has proven to reverse type 2 diabetes and other chronic metabolic diseases safely and sustainably and without the risks, costs, or side effects of medications or surgery.
According to the CDC, nearly 133 million Americans live with either diabetes or prediabetes and the number is growing. An estimated 37.3 million have diabetes (11.3% of Americans) and 96 million age 18+ have prediabetes (38% of adult U.S. population). The vast majority have type 2 diabetes.
“Diabetes is a highly prevalent, costly condition across our member populations. It represents a disproportionately high amount of health plan costs and is a top priority to address for our clients,” says Marpai CEO, Edmundo Gonzalez. He adds, “Virta is a proven, high impact solution that effectively helps people lower their blood sugar and l********** while also often reducing or even eliminating the need for medications, including insulin.”

“Marpai is focused on driving better member health, which also lowers costs for employers. That is 100% aligned with how Virta works,” says Kevin Kumler, President at Virta Health. “Through this partnership, we intend to bring diabetes reversal to Marpai’s clients and members nationwide, helping them get off of medications and l**********, while saving money.”
