Serious Illness program

Nashville – November 05, 2026 -- Thyme Care is scaling its Serious Illness program after finding that one in three of its oncology members live with serious illness. For one national health plan partner, members connected to palliative care had 18% lower total spend in their final 30 days of life.

Inpatient spending drove 82% of the 18% reduction in end-of-life costs. Thyme Care attributes the savings to more appropriate care rather than less care.
