Ayble Health Joins Amazon's Health Benefits Connector to expand Virtual GI Care Access to Millions of AmericansAs the first gastrointestinal care provider on Amazon's Health Benefits Connector, Ayble makes it easier for covered customers to discover and enroll with $0 or low out-of-pocket costs* BOSTON, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ayble Health, a leading AI-supported virtual multidisciplinary GI care platform, today announced it has joined Amazon's Health Benefits Connector. The collaboration gives millions of Americans a direct path to discover, verify coverage for, and enroll in specialized digestive healthcare already covered by their health plans*.
Ayble is the first digestive health provider to be included in Amazon's Health Benefits Connector. In-network for more than 80 million Americans across most major health plans, Ayble delivers expert care leaving most patients with out-of-pocket costs under $10, and even $0*. Through the Health Benefits Connector, individuals can now find out if they're covered - and start care - without navigating complex insurance portals, calling member services, or waiting weeks for an appointment. "We built Health Benefits Connector to help customers discover and use quality health services that may be covered by their insurer," said John Singerling, Head of Strategic Growth and Network Development for Amazon Health Services. "Adding Ayble as our first digestive health provider means customers now have a simple path to specialized, clinician-led GI care, an area where access can be a real challenge." The Access Problem: Access to specialty digestive care, on the other hand, is constrained and getting tighter: close to 70% of US counties, do not have a single local practicing gastroenterologist2, and based on GI workforce projections from the Health Resources and Services Administration National Center for Health Workforce Analysis, there is an aggregate shortage of 1,630 full-time GI physicians today3. For many patients, that wait means months of unmanaged symptoms, unnecessary ER visits, and avoidable procedures. At the same time, a significant number of Americans already have GI benefits they don't know about or don't know how to use. Amazon's Health Benefits Connector aims to solve this knowedge gap. "One of the biggest barriers to GI care isn't clinical – it's logistical," said Sam Jactel, Founder and CEO of Ayble Health and an Inflammatory Bowel Disease patient himself. "People suffer with digestive symptoms for years, often not knowing that high-quality, multidisciplinary GI care is already a covered benefit under their insurance plans. Joining Health Benefits Connector helps remove that friction and connects people directly to the care they need, at the moment they're looking for help." How It Works:
Most patients are matched with a dedicated care team within 48 hours of enrollment. Ayble achieves an average 47% improvement in GI symptoms for its patients, typically within four weeks and sustained for at least a year..
