SEATTLE, Nov. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Accolade announced an expansion of its relationship with Lowe's to further improve and simplify the company's employee benefit offering, nearly doubling the number of Lowe's members under Accolade's care. Beginning in 2018, Accolade will become the first point of benefits support for Lowe's employees and their families, addressing questions and needs ranging from benefits and bills to navigation of Lowe's cutting-edge benefits ecosystem.

"Accolade enables us to deliver on this promise to employees with its sophisticated engagement strategy, deep clinical team and advanced technology platform. Through this expanded partnership, we anticipate more effective and satisfying use of our benefits programs by employees and their families."

Supported by intelligent technology, Accolade Health Assistants and Registered Nurses understand how each member can benefit from Lowe's programs – including value-based price transparency advice, telemedicine, expert second opinion, pre-diabetic weight loss solutions, no-cost diabetic support, onsite clinics, maternity programs, mobile screening units and a nationally recognized Centers of Excellence program for heart, knee, hip and spine conditions. Additionally, Accolade provides Lowe's its NCQA-accredited Care Management program while also integrating with healthcare providers and Lowe's health plans.
"One of the great joys of our work is hearing that Accolade is improving the health and lives of Lowe's families, and we're thrilled to expand what we do across the Lowe's employee and dependent population," said Rob Cavanaugh, President of Accolade. "The combination of personalized healthcare navigation and an intelligent platform that integrates with Lowe's health plans and other health programs is what's needed today to move the bar on engagement, satisfaction and costs.
