Genalyte, a health care diagnostics and analytics company, and Sonora Quest Laboratories, the market share leader in diagnostic laboratory testing in Arizona, today announced a strategic partnership with Cigna Medicare Arizona to leverage science-based analytics to reduce costs while improving clinical outcomes for customers of Cigna Arizona’s Medicare Advantage plans.
Genalyte’s unique analytics approach applies both a causal and associative model of data and clinical research to stratify a population by health condition risk and clinical interventional opportunities. Cigna’s investment in advanced analytics will further empower its clinicians and care teams to engage patients in meaningful discussions about their health, chronic disease management and risks, and personalized pathways to help mitigate risk.
Genalyte’s Predictive Analytics prospectively pinpoint patients who should be targeted with diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in the plan year.
“We are very excited about this partnership with Sonora Quest to enable Cigna Medicare Arizona to identify customers who will likely require clinical oversight to improve care and reduce costs,” said Hossein Fakhrai-Rad, the president of BaseHealth Analytics at Genalyte.

“Genalyte’s Health Engine paired with Sonora Quest’s diagnostic services can help health care providers identify who is likely to become sick, why they will become sick, and the clinical intervention to mitigate disease progression,” said Dave Dexter, president and CEO of Sonora Quest Laboratories. “Our priority continues to be helping patients and their providers monitor, diagnose, and improve their health. We’re excited about this latest endeavor to expand our efforts.”
“This is another great example of how collaboration can help to advance and unlock the power of data in health care,” added Dan Hoemke, president of Cigna’s Medicare Advantage plans in Arizona. “Advanced analytics allow clinicians, hospitals and customers to make timely and informed decisions regarding care and can be critical to better health outcomes. That is the result that we are driving toward with this collaboration.”
