Elligint Health, Sagility launch turnkey CM/UM alliance for health plans

Elligint Health and Sagility announced a strategic alliance on Oct. 14, 2026, to give health plans a fully integrated care and utilization management solution. The partnership pairs Elligint's Helios platform with Sagility's operations model so payers can outsource more of the technology and staffing needed to run CM/UM programs at scale.

Why it matters: - Health plans are under pressure from tighter margins, regulatory demands, workforce limits and higher expectations for measurable outcomes. - The alliance is designed to give payers one end-to-end CM/UM path instead of stitching together software, workflows and staffing from multiple vendors. - The model could help health plans move faster from implementation to performance without building large internal CM/UM teams.

What happened: - Elligint Health and Sagility announced a strategic alliance to deliver a turnkey care and utilization management solution for health plans. - The announcement came on Oct. 14, 2026, in Edison, N.J. - The partnership combines Helios, Elligint Health’s clinical workflow intelligence platform, with Sagility’s healthcare operational expertise. - The companies said the offering is intended to support a fully integrated CM/UM approach for payers.

The details: - Shared clients will have access to Sagility’s Business Process as a Service capabilities. - The package includes clinically informed pre-built workflows. - The package also includes Sagility’s implementation model, training and dedicated support. - Health plans can also use end-to-end CM/UM operational staffing and program management through the alliance. - The structure gives health plans the option to fully outsource Helios-powered CM/UM operations. - Elligint Health says the combined offer brings together its platform with a broader partner ecosystem built for payer operations. - Sagility brings more than 25 years of healthcare focus, more than 80 healthcare clients and nearly 50,000 professionals across five global delivery centers. - Elligint Health says it manages more than 13 million lives across all 50 states. - Elligint Health was founded in 2024.

Between the lines: - The alliance is not just a software integration story; it is an attempt to package technology, implementation and managed services into one operating model. - That matters because many payer platforms fail to deliver results when the surrounding operations are weak or inconsistent. - The companies are positioning the partnership as a response to a market that wants performance, not just deployment. - Bill Bottomly, vice president of partnerships at Sagility, said health plans need a partner that can help operationalize the platform and move faster toward outcomes. - Chris Caramanico, CEO of Elligint Health, said the alliance combines people, process and technology to support scale in a changing market.

What's next: - Health plans interested in the alliance can learn more at Elligint Health's website. - The companies are pitching the model to payers that want to outsource more of CM/UM operations rather than maintain internal teams. - The broader test will be whether the combined offering can translate workflow intelligence and services into measurable payer performance.

The bottom line: - Elligint Health and Sagility are betting that health plans want a single CM/UM partner that can provide the platform, the operating model and the staff to run it.
