We at Annexus Health are so honored to win this award. However, we believe that with our victory, the true winner will be the patients we serve through our platform, AssistPoint®. As more provider groups embrace our technology and more life science organizations connect their patient support programs with us, more patients will be able to achieve the best possible outcomes with less financial toxicity.

“In 2019 we arrived at an incredible upside inflection point as a result of our team achieving critical mass in the areas of provider uptake and life science contractual commitments,” said Annexus Health CEO and Co-Founder Joe Baffone.
The company’s recent achievements also include product enhancements, industry recognition, and internal growth.
Product enhancements
Since launching in 2018, more than 30,000 patient applications and over $200 million in patient financial assistance have been processed through the AssistPoint® platform. Annexus Health continues to improve upon AssistPoint® to better meet user needs. In 2019, the company introduced the following enhancements to the AssistPoint® platform:
• Re-imagined application wizard
• Medical benefit payments ingestion
• On-demand analytics for providers
• Addition of the “Journey” tab
• Improved UX design
Industry recognition
The pharmaceutical industry has taken notice of the great work Annexus Health is doing to revolutionize the financial assistance cycle management process:
• AssistPoint® was recognized with the 2019 eyeforpharma award for Most Valuable Service/Digital Therapy
• AnnexusHealth was shortlisted for the 2020 eyeforpharma start-up challenge
• A case study of how AssistPoint® helped relieve financial toxicity at New York Cancer and Blood Specialists was published in Oncology Business Review
Internal growth
Annexus Health celebrated its 2-year anniversary in 2019; a year in which the company expanded its internal team by 50% and introduced new corporate branding, logos, and a website.
Looking forward in 2020
“At the core of everything we do is the patient,” said Brad Frazier, President, COO, and Co-Founder of Annexus Health. “In 2020, we plan to even further accelerate our goal of transforming the highly manual and fragmented administrative barriers that compound the significant challenges already facing each patient (and their provider team) into a more seamless administrative journey. With every feature we build, with every team member we on board, with every interaction we have with our valued partners, maintaining clear sight on this goal is at the center of who we are as a company.”
Later this year, Annexus Health will host the first of many Innovation Summits, providing an opportunity for providers and life science companies to come together and share ideas. Annexus Health will also participate in the 2020 eyeforpharma start-up challenge. Joe Baffone will represent the company at this exciting event in which startups battle it out with a three-minute elevator pitch to an audience of expectant pharmaceutical executives, who then vote on a winner. The eyeforpharma Start-Up Challenge will be held April 15-16, 2020 in Philadelphia.
“Our family has expanded rapidly with new customers, new employees, and contracted valued partners with more to come,” said Baffone. “The prospects and forecast for our disruptive approach to improve the way the patient care journey is managed in 2020 are incredible. Critical to Annexus taking full advantage of the opportunity and momentum going into 2020 will be how we continue to build our team, reinforce our culture of empowerment to make a difference in the lives of patients, and cultivate partnerships with other like-minded organizations. We are passionate about our work and driving change.”

Earlier this evening at the Bellevue hotel in Philadelphia, PA, over 500 attendees came together representing the pharma industry to recognize innovation in the space. There were 16 value-based categories that received over 600 global entries. A panel of 35 judges representing senior level executives from pharma, patient advocacy, and patients reviewed and selected the finalists and then ultimately the winner in each category.
Annexus Health originally submitted entries into two of the categories and was named a finalist in each: Most Valuable Service or Digital Therapy and Entrepreneur Health Care Solution. During the awards event, Annexus was recognized as the winner for the category: Most Valuable Service or Digital Therapy for the submission “AssistPoint®: Reducing the administration burden across the patient journey”.
The criteria for this award category was an initiative which goes beyond the pill, providing a holistic service or solution that provides significant benefits to patients. The initiative may be complimentary to a medicine or be entirely independent of a medicine, yet still be able to demonstrate clinical or other value. It should either have launched, or will be launched imminently, but should have some field exposure.

Read moreWILMINGTON, Del., July 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Annexus Health marked its two-year anniversary by reaching a significant milestone of processing over $142 million in patient financial assistance awards. The company’s technology platform, AssistPoint® is a single enterprise, cloud-based solution, used by provider groups to manage the financial assistance cycle management process across the patient journey.
“We want to remove the administrative burdens so that patients receive the right treatment at the right time. Our unique provider focus is disrupting – for the better – the administration and coordination of workflow and services along the patient care continuum,” stated Joe Baffone, CEO and Co-Founder of Annexus Health.
Annexus Health has expanded its reach to over 40 oncology provider groups actively using AssistPoint®. “We have long-awaited the arrival of a software system that will directly pull information from our practice management system and individualize patient assistance, program-by-program, while accessing the difficult-to-work-with disease funds,” said Jeff Vacirca, MD, FACP, Chief Executive Officer of New York Cancer Specialists. “The AssistPoint® platform has increased productivity for our practice and had a favorable impact on our patients financially, while improving our economic viability performing against our mission of providing the best care and outcomes for the patients we serve.”
In addition to working with provider groups, Annexus Health partners with Life Science companies to seamlessly connect their patient access services directly into AssistPoint® through API connectivity which streamlines activity for financial counselors so they can work within one single enterprise system to identify, enroll and manage financial assistance.
Baffone added, “Our technology-driven approach provides an innovative and inclusive offering allowing Life Science organizations to meet their customers where they live to facilitate critical services associated with patient access and engagement. For our early life science partners, connecting with AssistPoint® provides a differentiated offering in a space that is ready to take on innovation. We are actively working with many of the major life science companies to connect their support programs with AssistPoint®.”
Annexus will be launching another solution in 2019 that provides a fully-outsourced, turn-key service for providers. The solution – Adparo® – includes a team of experienced staff that utilize the AssistPoint® platform to help providers perform an array of financial assistance and access services across the patient journey.
“We have an aggressive product roadmap to expand our work list and task management functionality into all administrative logistics.” Baffone added “Adparo® will further demonstrate our passion for improving patient access to the best care possible.”
