“Fred brings extraordinary depth of experience in helping health plans transform how they engage and support their members,” said Jaclyn Mains, BSN, RN, Chief Revenue Officer of zakipoint Health. “As a nurse who spent years working directly with patients before transitioning into healthcare technology and strategy, I’ve seen firsthand how fragmented the healthcare experience can be for members trying to navigate their care. What makes Fred such a powerful addition to the team is his ability to bridge data and analytics into meaningful engagement that helps guide members to optimal care.”

“zakipoint Health is uniquely positioned to help health plans and employers turn data into action,” said Karutz. “A unified platform with a suite of modular solutions bring together advanced analytics, AI-driven engagement, and a true digital front door that help organizations guide members more effectively through their healthcare journey. I’m excited to work with the team as they expand into the payer market and help organizations improve member experience while driving measurable cost and quality outcomes.”

zakipoint Health has rapidly emerged as a trusted technology partner to TPAs, employers, and healthcare organizations by delivering a modern digital front door that combines advanced analytics, personalized engagement, and AI-powered navigation to help members better understand and utilize their healthcare benefits. The platform also leverages artificial intelligence to support providers, clinicians, and customer service teams by automating administrative interactions, reducing inbound provider calls, generating real-time benefit and eligibility insights, and enabling faster, more accurate support for both members and providers.
