Uptiv Health, a company specializing in infusion and chronic care management, has announced a new partnership with Lamar Health. The objective of this collaboration is to implement an AI-powered automation platform that focuses on streamlining referral intake and prior authorization processes.
Uptiv Health combines personalized in-clinic care with a digital platform to provide infusion therapy for patients dealing with chronic conditions. In addition to standard infusion services, the company offers care coordination, mental health coaching, and comprehensive care solutions.
Lamar Health's platform is designed specifically for specialty medication workflows, enhancing efficiency through AI-driven solutions. Founded by reputable organizations including Stanford Medicine, McKesson, and CoverMyMeds, Lamar Health has gained backing from several venture capital firms.
This AI platform integrates with major EHR systems and continuously improves authorization workflows, with the aim of expediting treatment timelines for patients in need.

According to Torben Nielsen, CEO of Uptiv Health, the partnership will help allocate resources towards enhancing patient experiences rather than handling administrative tasks.
In 2024, Uptiv Health initiated a partnership with Lyn Health to combine infusion therapy with chronic care management, leading to the launch of Uptiv360. This system provides patients with a streamlined onboarding process and access to a care team within 48 hours of their infusion visit.
Uptiv Health also opened a new infusion center in Troy, Michigan, in 2024, which aligns with their effort to offer accessible care for chronic conditions.
