New bundled program offers a unified, virtual-first solution for employers and payors
NEW CANAAN, Conn., Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — FlyteHealth, a leader in virtual cardiometabolic care, and Heartbeat Health, the nation’s leading virtual-first cardiology provider, today announced a strategic partnership, launching a bundled program combining their expertise into a seamless offering.
This solution creates one entry point for employers and payors to provide comprehensive care—from managing conditions like pre-diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia with FlyteHealth to addressing cardiovascular disease and heart failure with Heartbeat Health. By tightly coordinating lifestyle, cardiometabolic, and specialty cardiology services, the program eliminates care gaps, reduces fragmentation, and improves outcomes.
Patients benefit from AI-driven risk-stratified care plans, multidisciplinary care teams, remote patient monitoring, and a mobile app for education, scheduling, and progress tracking. Employers and payors gain streamlined implementation and coordinated reporting, with transparent, measurable ROI.
Cardiometabolic and cardiovascular conditions together drive more than $500 billion in annual U.S. healthcare costs, absenteeism, and lost productivity. By addressing both in an integrated model, FlyteHealth and Heartbeat Health offer organizations a smarter, more efficient way to manage risk, improve adherence, and reduce hospitalizations.
“At FlyteHealth, we believe seamless, coordinated care is the key to better adherence—which ultimately drives improved outcomes and lower costs,” said Dr. Cheryl Pegus, MD, MPH, FACC, CEO of FlyteHealth. “By treating cardiometabolic and cardiovascular conditions together, we can scale proven solutions to reach multiple populations, including rural communities and older adults. The independently validated results from both FlyteHealth and Heartbeat Health demonstrate our shared commitment to delivering cost-effective, evidence-based care. We’re excited to partner with Jeff and his team to bring this integrated model to more patients nationally.”
“At Heartbeat Health, we’ve long believed that cardiovascular care must be proactive, data-driven, and seamlessly integrated across the patient journey,” said Dr. Jeff Wessler, MD, MPhil, FACC, CEO of Heartbeat Health. “This partnership with FlyteHealth allows us to extend that vision—connecting upstream cardiometabolic management with downstream cardiovascular expertise in a unified model. Together, we’re delivering smarter care pathways, reducing fragmentation, and driving measurable impact for patients, employers, and payors alike.”
This strategic partnership underscores a shared commitment to transforming how cardiometabolic and cardiovascular care is delivered nationwide. By uniting two proven leaders in virtual care, this program sets a new standard for integrated care—one that delivers better outcomes for patients, measurable value for employers and payors, and decreases cardiometabolic healthcare costs.
