About this update from Dariohealth Corp.
Dario's best-in-class, consumer-centric chronic care platform, combined now with Beluga's embedded clinical delivery, extends member engagement to include provider-delivered treatment, lowering costs and expanding value for existing clients while opening large new markets NEW YORK, June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DarioHealth Corp.

Dario's solution performance is evidence-based: in a study published in JMIR, Dario users had 23% lower hospitalization rates and 26% lower total charges than matched patients receiving usual care. For health plans, the Agreement positions Dario as a quality and revenue performance partner that delivers impact based on where plans are economically incentivized: just a half-star CMS Star Rating gain can be worth roughly $500 per member, and gaps in accurate risk-adjustment documentation can cost more than $1,000 per member per year. Beluga's white-label medical infrastructure addresses this without Dario building or operating a provider network, thereby expanding contract value per client at high margin. The Agreement also unlocks new markets. Dario already serves 12 health plans, 3 of them national...
