From the DMV to the Mayo Clinic: How Medecision and Excell Are Humanizing Healthcare
Slice of Healthcare Team

Introduction
What if getting the right care at the right time felt less like paperwork and more like a patient-centered experience? Kenneth Young and Mike Green are betting it can. And they're building the blueprint to prove it.
What They Do: No Buzzwords, Just Results
Medecision builds the technology. Excell Healthcare Advisors brings the clinical and operational expertise. Together, they help health plans streamline operations, lower costs, and finally deliver on the long-promised goal of “right care, right time.” Their recent integration blends AI-driven software with hands-on consulting. The result is that clients don’t just buy tools; they actually see outcomes.
How It All Started
This wasn’t a rushed partnership. Medecision had been collaborating with Excell on client projects for years. One standout example involved launching a multimillion-member health plan in under nine months—a process that usually takes far longer. As AI entered the healthcare scene in full force, it became clear that technology alone wasn’t enough. What was missing? Human guidance. So Medecision acquired Excell to create a fully integrated model.
Why It Stands Out
Most healthcare tech promises transformation. Few deliver. That’s because the hardest part isn’t the software. It’s getting people to use it effectively. As Young puts it, “Technology by itself can only go so far.” The real impact comes from wrapping that tech with seasoned consulting that ensures it fits into daily workflows, respects real-world constraints, and delivers measurable ROI.
And about those buzzwords? Both leaders agree: AI is no longer just jargon. It’s real. But without good data and smart strategy, it won’t work.
A Customer Story
In one project, the Medecision-Excell team implemented a major health plan’s platform in less than nine months. What made it work? Tight coordination, deep data integration, and a laser focus on outcomes. In another example, they reduced a data activation timeline to just 30 days by reengineering how Medecision’s platform handles information.
Who It Helps
The biggest beneficiaries are health plans under pressure. This includes those dealing with regulatory shifts, shrinking margins, and rising member expectations. But the ultimate winners are providers and patients. “We don’t want providers filling out forms,” says Green. “We want to be informing them.” AI helps surface the right information at the right moment so clinicians can work at the top of their license rather than as data entry clerks.
Where It’s Going
Medecision and Excell are already supporting over 20 million lives. Looking ahead to 2026, they’re scaling their AI-powered, agentic workflows. These tools are designed to reduce administrative load, identify lower-cost care options, and speed up decision-making. Importantly, these tools are tailored. They aren’t generic plug-ins. They are bespoke deployments based on each client’s specific goals.
Conclusion
Healthcare doesn’t need more complexity. It needs clarity, connection, and a bit more humanity. That’s what Kenneth Young and Mike Green are working toward. They want to bring the empathy of the Mayo Clinic to a system that too often feels like the DMV. And for once, it’s not just a vision. It’s happening.
