Thyme Care announces several payer, provider partners, including Oak Street

Thyme Care, a value-based cancer care navigation startup, announced several new strategic partners across the payer and provider spectrum.

The startup, founded in 2020, helps guide patients through the complex and grueling cancer care journey. It partners with payers, employers and risk-bearing providers to help reduce costs while improving outcomes.

One of its newer partners is EmblemHealth, a nonprofit plan in New York. The two have been working together since the fall of 2024. So far, Thyme is focused on the plan’s Medicare Advantage patients, but it's also in active discussions with the plan on its commercial side, according to executives. Once a partner’s member has a claim indicating they are going through cancer, Thyme gets looped in to support the patient. Its services include helping get patients to appointments, educating them on their diagnosis, proactively monitoring their side effects and more.
