New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - September 29, 2022) - Plantable® Health Inc. (NEO: PLBL) (OTCQB: PLBLF) ("Plantable" or the "Company") announced its plans to expand the Company's reach into the self-funded marketplace with the launch of the RebootRx. Proven on the individual level, Plantable's RebootRx product will offer self-funded employers a value-based solution to reverse chronic disease with high levels of adherence and engagement, leading to better outcomes both for the individual's health and for the employer's bottom line.
"It's a really exciting time for us because we know Plantable is a solution to reduce the $2 trillion healthcare cost that is spent on diet-related chronic disease management every year." said Dr. Nadja Pinnavaia, the founder and CEO of Plantable. "We know that employers and health plans need value-based innovation and, modeled upon the existing institutional clinical trials, the RebootRx delivers a clinically-effective and cost-effective solution, with a high return on capital for the payer, with a health solution that actually works for the consumer. Through its unique offering that combines behavioral, high-touch coaching, with an education platform, and in the first instance the actual delivery of nutrient-dense meals, Plantable makes behavior change easier. The highly engaged and fully-immersive RebootRx program drives improved adherence which in turns drives its spectacular results. This brings an improvement in the bottom line driven by lower healthcare costs for the employer from reduced claims and fewer hospital admissions."
The Plantable team recently brought on Jim Wachtel as the Chief Growth Officer, to support this initiative. Wachtel has over twenty-five years in sales. His in-depth knowledge of the needs in the health risk management, payer and employee benefits space brings experience to the Plantable team as it builds this market channel for distribution.
"It's a great opportunity for me to be a part of the complete solution that Plantable offers and leverage my background to build Plantable's distribution into self-funded employers health plans, regional health plans, the BUCAs, Medicare Advantage, and other risk sharing organizations," said Jim Wachtel. "We envision this product being leveraged to great advantage for employers who want a solution that addresses the root issue with these costly and stressful conditions."
The RebootRx is a 12-month clinical program that includes personalized coaching, through scheduled onboarding calls, transition calls, weekly check-ins and unlimited 7 day / week SMS text support, all centered around behavior change and addiction counseling. Further to the support from the personal coach, the RebootRx provides 8 weeks of nutrient-dense, proprietarily-crafted plant-based meals with a target carbohydrate to fiber ratio, designed to maintain steady levels of insulin and blood sugar, along with 12 month access to the education platform for lifestyle maintenance. Furthermore the RebootRx includes a cellular scale for remote weight monitoring and a prescription for full baseline and final blood work, including the following metabolic markers: HgbA1c, lipid panel I(including LDL), LP(a), hsCRP and uric acid.
