Papa is a companion care company that pairs older adults and families with vetted, trained companions called Papa Pals for social support, errands, transportation, technology help, check-ins, and everyday assistance. Papa sells to Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, Special Needs, and commercial health plans and to employers as a tech-enabled social care benefit, serving millions of members across roughly 70-100 health plan and employer partners. Members are enrolled by phone or, for employer members, online, and use the Papa Care app to request and schedule visits; Papa Pals use the Papa Pal app to accept and complete visits. Papa does not publish a public or self-serve developer API. Health plan integration is handled through business agreements - eligibility file exchange to identify and onboard eligible members, and recurring reporting dashboards covering utilization, gaps, referrals, satisfaction, and outcomes - rather than through a documented public REST API, developer portal, or API keys.
