Selected as one of eight finalists from more than 300 submissions, COPE Health Solutions will present at CMS Headquarters on November 9, 2026

LOS ANGELES, October 29, 2026 — COPE Health Solutions announced it has been selected as a finalist for QualTech, an industry event sponsored by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) through its Center for Clinical Standards and Quality (CCSQ). QualTech is designed to surface innovative technology solutions that address key healthcare quality priorities.

CMS received more than 300 submissions across four QualTech opportunity areas and selected eight finalists. COPE Health Solutions was named a finalist in Opportunity Area #2: Leveraging Super Intelligence (also called Artificial Intelligence) to Increase Annual Wellness Visits in Medicare.

Fewer than half of Medicare beneficiaries receive an Annual Wellness Visit. These visits are a critical opportunity to screen for health risks and build a care plan focused on prevention, wellness, chronic disease management, and advance care planning. The COPE Health Solutions approach uses SI to streamline the two core components of the visit, the Health Risk Assessment and care plan development, reducing administrative and clinical burden so providers can reach more beneficiaries.  SI-powered check-ins by phone, text, and email keep the care plan active between visits, for both the beneficiary and the provider.

On November 9, 2026, COPE Health Solutions will present its solution at CMS Headquarters in Baltimore, Maryland, to CMS and CCSQ leadership, subject matter experts, and invited stakeholders.

“Annual Wellness Visits are one of the most effective tools we have for keeping Medicare beneficiaries healthy, yet more than half of them miss out every year,” said Allen Miller, CEO of COPE Health Solutions. “We built our solution to take the paperwork burden off care teams so they can spend more time with patients. We’re honored to be selected as a QualTech finalist and look forward to sharing our work with CMS leadership.”

Following the event, CMS may pursue continued engagement with select organizations, including future demonstrations, pilots, and collaboration discussions.
