About Ply Health

The American healthcare system is complicated. 88% of US adults cite difficulties navigating the healthcare system.

The good news is patient advocacy became a covered benefit by Medicare in 2024.

Understood Care uses AI and healthcare expertise to deliver the highest quality patient advocacy to the 68 million Medicare patients in the US.
