Every wellness visit missed. Every hospital discharge with no follow-up call. Every appointment that didn't get rebooked. Every patient who fell off the schedule when life got busy. Behind every gap in primary care is a real person who needed care and didn't get it. Alema exists to close those gaps — patient by patient — so independent practices can deliver the consistent, proactive care their communities deserve.
Independent primary care is where preventive care happens. It's where chronic conditions get managed before they become hospitalizations. It's where the 14-day post-discharge call prevents the readmission. It's where a patient who hasn't been seen in 18 months gets the gentle nudge that brings them back in.
When primary care practices are stretched thin, those touchpoints don't happen. Not because anyone made a wrong choice — because there isn't enough time in the day to manually identify every patient who is overdue, every patient who was just discharged, every patient who didn't show up, every patient who quietly stopped coming in. The work doesn't get done. The patients don't get the care. And eventually they show up somewhere worse than a primary care office.
Alema handles that identification automatically. Every patient who needs follow-up gets identified, prioritized, and reached — without adding a single hour of staff time. The clinical work stays with the clinicians. The reaching out, scheduling, and follow-through happens in the background.
For every 100 Annual Wellness Visits that don't happen, dozens of preventive screenings, immunizations, and chronic care reviews don't happen with them. Hospital readmission rates drop by a quarter to a third when patients receive structured 14-day follow-up after discharge. Every gap Alema closes is a real patient receiving the preventive, transitional, or continuity care that primary care is supposed to deliver.
Independent primary care is disappearing. Roughly 40% of US counties have lost an independent practice in the last decade — replaced by hospital systems, private equity rollups, or nothing at all. Every practice that stays open is care that stays accessible. The financial side of Alema exists to support the mission side: practices that capture the revenue they earn for the care they deliver are practices that survive long enough to keep delivering it.
Behind every revenue gap is a patient who needed follow-up care and didn't get the outreach. Alema closes the loop — for the practice's bottom line and for the patients who deserve consistent, proactive care.
Every engine is a category of patient who would otherwise fall through the cracks. Here's what each one does for them.
Every dollar recovered is a practice that stays independent. Every patient reached is care that wouldn't have happened otherwise. That's what Alema is built for.
