There is no doubt that technology empowers healthcare, and in recent years, it has become more prevalent than ever.

Arine, a next-generation medication intelligence company, today announced that it has raised $29 million in Series B funding composed of equity and debt financing. The round was led by 111° West Capital, with participation from new investors MBX Capital and New Leaf Venture Partners and continued support from Katalyst Ventures and Super Capital Group.

Arine helps health plans substantially decrease the cost of care and improve patient outcomes by reducing medication-related problems, avoiding complications, and keeping patients out of the hospital. The latest funding comes on the heels of significant growth at Arine. Since the company’s launch in 2019, Arine has acquired an impressive list of health plan clients such as national, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Medicaid, and Medicare Advantage plans, including special needs plans. As a result of its demonstrated ability to uniquely and significantly reduce total cost of care while optimizing drug regimens, adherence, and patient outcomes, Arine has continued on a fast growth trajectory, now managing more than 10 million members and increasing revenue by more than 500% this past year. Arine has also expanded its staff to nearly 100 employees.

“The US healthcare system is fractured and siloed, making it difficult for plans, providers, and patients to align on safe and effective medication therapy,” said Yoona Kim, PharmD, PhD, Arine’s co-founder and CEO. “Arine overcomes the limits of traditional, manually driven medication management approaches by making the practice scalable. Our platform pulls insights from a complex ecosystem of clinical, socioeconomic, and behavioral data to connect the dots between plans, providers, and patients, with the goal of maximizing patient outcomes.”

As the company serves more members, Arine continues to achieve improved outcomes for clients and patients, as reflected in a 40% reduction in hospitalizations, the highest quality ratings, and significant cost of care savings validated by robust matched-pair statistical analyses.

Arine will use the latest funding to advance the capabilities of its platform to enable value-based care at scale, not only for health plans and risk-bearing providers, but also to expand its offerings to channel partners across the value-based care continuum that will leverage Arine’s medication intelligence to achieve next-level outcomes.

“Arine is transforming medication decision-making at all points of care and empowering clinicians with powerful data insights that have never been achievable before. These deep understandings result in optimized pharmaceutical care for complex high-need populations, while managing the cost side of medication spend,” commented Andrew A. Brooks, M.D, 111° West Capital Co-founder and Managing Partner.

“Arine’s impressive growth trajectory, proven customer ROI, outcomes, and experienced leadership point to a bright future. Having previously led Arine’s Series A financing, we are thrilled to continue our partnership with Arine and believe that their cutting-edge technology, combined with their AI-enabled approach to medication optimization, will drive hyper-growth,” said Michael Matly, M.D., 111° West Capital Co-founder and Managing Partner.
