The Iowa Clinic Signs Multi-Year Agreement with Counterpart Health to Deploy Proven AI Technology to Hundreds of Providers Across the Midwest
FRANKLIN, Tenn., Sept. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, Counterpart Health, Inc. (“Counterpart”), a leading AI-powered physician enablement platform, announced a multi-year agreement with The Iowa Clinic, P.C., one of the most highly regarded multispecialty healthcare groups in the United States. This deal positions The Iowa Clinic as one of Counterpart's anchor customers in the Midwest, as Counterpart drives a broader strategic expansion across the country. Counterpart is a subsidiary of Clover Health Investments, Corp. (NASDAQ: CLOV) (“Clover Health”).
Founded in 1994, The Iowa Clinic is a benchmark for excellence in American healthcare, recognized as one of America's Top 100 Healthcare Providers by Becker's Hospital Review and a recipient of multiple Press Ganey Guardian of Excellence Awards for patient satisfaction. As the largest physician-owned multispecialty group in its community, with over 250 providers across more than 40 specialties, The Iowa Clinic is celebrated for its pioneering physician-governed, patient-centered model. It also has been recognized for its leadership in patient safety by the Leapfrog Group and quality care by the NCQA. The clinic is a frequent collaborator in national research and an early adopter of advanced diagnostic technologies, with its physicians regularly featured in Castle Connolly's list of America’s Top Doctors. Renowned for its clinical expertise and commitment to innovation, The Iowa Clinic consistently delivers world-class, patient-centered care.
Under the terms of the agreement, clinicians serving The Iowa Clinic’s Medicare Advantage and Medicare Shared Savings Program patients will use Counterpart Assistant, Counterpart Health’s cutting-edge cloud-based software platform. Additionally, the platform will be made available to The Iowa Clinic’s clinically integrated network partners throughout the Midwest. Counterpart will receive a per-member, per-month fee, as well as potential incentive payments contingent on achieving certain care management goals.
“Counterpart Assistant was engineered in one of the most challenging healthcare markets in the nation, attracting leading payors and provider groups dedicated to addressing the complex needs of patients in challenging markets,” said Andrew Toy, CEO of Clover Health. “The Iowa Clinic stands at the forefront of innovative, value-based care solutions, and we are confident our technology will deliver substantial clinical value to the hundreds of physicians within this distinguished provider group, as well as their Medicare patients.”
“We take great pride in being a leader in the adoption of innovative medical technologies and treatments, always with the aim of elevating the quality of care our patients receive,” said Ben Vallier, CEO of The Iowa Clinic, P.C. “Counterpart’s ability to harness clinical data to drive improved outcomes, combined with its intuitive design that understands the needs of practicing clinicians, stood out among other potential solutions, and makes it a perfect fit for our organization. We are very optimistic about the immediate and long-term clinical and financial value it will bring to our providers and patients alike.”
Built on technology originally developed by Clover Health, Counterpart Assistant is an AI-enabled solution designed to seamlessly integrate into physicians’ workflows, supporting earlier diagnosis and management of chronic diseases, and is currently used by over a thousand physicians as part of their daily workflow to enhance patient care. By leveraging real-time insights from more than a hundred data sources and utilizing over one hundred machine learning models, providers using Counterpart Assistant can identify, diagnose, and treat some of the most costly chronic diseases earlier. For example, Clover Health has seen over a 1,000 basis point medical cost ratio (MCR) differential between returning members of its Medicare Advantage plans whose primary care physicians (PCP) use Counterpart Assistant versus those members whose PCPs do not. As Counterpart’s largest customer, the success of Clover Health’s PPO-focused Medicare Advantage plans stand as a powerful testament to the value the technology can bring to plans and providers managing Medicare risk.

I’m actually hoping those who manipulate CLOV will push the price even lower. Many of you know I'm heavily vested in Clover Health, holding significant shares and options since my first buy in May 2021. It's been a wild ride, but the recent developments have been incredibly promising. Here’s why I’m embracing the possibility of CLOV being driven lower ahead of Q3:
Clover has already proven its concept with patented technology that stands out in the industry. The fact that larger insurers are facing challenges while we continue to improve demonstrates the competitive edge CLOV holds over established names in the Medicare Advantage space, such as Humana, UnitedHealth Group, and others. Humana has recently slashed profit projections due to unexpected rises in medical costs, while UnitedHealth Group has been dealing with legal battles over allegations of overbilling Medicare. These struggles highlight the growing pressures in the sector, yet Clover Health continues to show resilience and progress.
If the stock is pushed lower before our next earnings report and the update on our new SaaS revenue stream's profitability, it presents a strategic buying opportunity. Here’s a reminder of all CLOV has going for it following the last earnings report:

Ladies and gentlemen, we gather here today to reflect on a unique group of individuals: those who made the bold decision to short Clover Health stock. While their actions were driven by strategy, calculation, and perhaps a dash of skepticism, their journey became a testament to the unpredictable nature of markets and the complexities of betting against innovation.
These short-sellers embarked on their path with conviction, believing they had identified a weakness or a misstep in Clover Health’s trajectory. They combed through financials, analyzed market trends, and held firm in their belief that this company’s rise was unsustainable. In doing so, they played an essential role in keeping the market in balance, reminding us all that for every bull, there must be a bear.
But as time went on, and Clover Health showed resilience, adaptability, and growth, these short-sellers found themselves facing the harsh realities of a market that can often defy even the best-laid plans. What began as a calculated gamble became, for many, an expensive lesson in the power of innovation and perseverance. Clover Health didn’t falter the way they expected. Instead, it evolved, and with it, the fortunes of those betting against it changed.
In this reflection, we do not mourn their losses but celebrate their participation in the grand theater of the stock market, where risks are taken, lessons are learned, and the future remains unwritten. For every short-seller, there’s a story of ambition and belief, and today, we honor their place in that story.
May they find peace in the knowledge that in this dynamic, ever-shifting market, they played their part. And as Clover Health continues to rise, may we all remember the value of conviction – whether we stand with the bulls or the bears.
Rest easy, short-sellers. You gave it your all.
