CheckMySpot® Earns National Recognition for Transforming Early Skin Cancer Detection at 2025 National Alliance Annual Forum
CheckMySpot accepts Innovator of the Year Recognition
CheckMySpot®, the Direct Access Platform™ for early skin cancer detection, was honored today during the 2025 National Alliance Annual Forum Innovator Showcase, where leaders from across the country evaluated breakthrough solutions advancing employer-sponsored healthcare. The National Alliance, a nationwide coalition representing employers, purchasers, and business health coalitions, spotlights innovations that deliver measurable value, improve outcomes, and reduce healthcare spend.
Dr. Joseph Webb, board-certified Mohs surgeon and CheckMySpot co-founder, presented the platform’s groundbreaking results in early cancer detection, cost avoidance, and accelerated access to dermatologic care. He emphasized that while skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S., it remains one of the most inefficiently captured in employer health spending.
“Skin cancer is relentless. One in five Americans will face it, and every hour two lives are lost,” Dr. Webb said. “Nearly every skin cancer, including melanoma, can be cured for under $1,000 when caught early but delays can drive costs over $750,000, often triggering catastrophic claims.”
The CheckMySpot platform enables employees to submit two smartphone photos through the free app and receive a dermatologist-reviewed assessment in under 24 hours. Four out of five cases require no further action, while higher-risk cases are routed to in-network preferred dermatologists for immediate care—providing a “front-of-the-line” experience that eliminates months of delay.
