About Pair Team

At Pair Team, we're an innovative, mission-driven company reimagining how Medicaid and Medicare serves the most underserved populations. As a tech-enabled medical group, we deliver whole-person care—clinical, behavioral, and social—by partnering with organizations deeply connected to the communities we serve.

We're building a care model that empowers clinicians and care teams to do what they do best: provide compassionate, high-impact care. At Pair Team, we leverage AI and automation to reduce administrative burden, streamline coordination, and ensure patients receive timely, personalized support.

Our work is powered by a deeply collaborative team of nurses, social workers, community health workers, and medical professionals working alongside product, technology, and operations to close care gaps and improve outcomes for high-need patients.

We're one of the largest Enhanced Care Management providers in California and are on track to build the nation's largest clinically integrated network supporting high-need patients. Our model has demonstrated real impact, including a 58% reduction in emergency department visits and a 29% reduction in hospital admissions.

At Pair Team, we're not just delivering care—we're building the future of more equitable, community-driven healthcare.
