Included Health has raised $278.0M in total across 5 funding rounds.
Included Health delivers an integrated platform for virtual care and healthcare navigation services. The company provides a comprehensive suite of offerings, including virtual primary care, behavioral health support, and expert medical opinions, all accessible through a unified digital experience. Its approach combines human guidance with advanced technology to assist individuals in understanding their benefits, finding appropriate care, and managing their overall health journey effectively.
The current Included Health emerged from the 2021 merger of Grand Rounds Health and Doctor On Demand. Grand Rounds Health was co-founded by Owen Tripp and Lawrence “Rusty” Hofmann around 2011, reportedly driven by Dr. Hofmann's personal challenges navigating the complex healthcare system for his son. The combined entity later acquired the original Included Health, co-founded by Colin Quinn in 2019, which focused on improving care equity for underserved communities, integrating these distinct capabilities.
Included Health primarily serves employers and health plans, providing their members with a streamlined pathway to essential health services. The platform aims to simplify the healthcare experience, offering personalized support and convenient access to quality care across diverse medical needs. Its overarching vision is to foster a more equitable and accessible healthcare system where individuals can confidently navigate their options and receive appropriate, timely medical attention.
Key people at Included Health.
Included Health is a technology-driven healthcare company that provides personalized all-in-one virtual care and navigation services, partnering with employers, health plans, and organizations to deliver high-quality care across acute, chronic, behavioral, physical, and specialty needs.[1][5][6] It serves tens of millions of members, including employees of 32 Fortune 100 companies, by offering board-certified doctors, specialists, mental health support, care coordinators, and culturally competent experts to improve health outcomes, reduce unnecessary costs, and support users holistically—mind, body, and wallet.[3][4][6] The company solves key problems like access barriers, wrong diagnoses, overtreatment, billing frustrations, and long wait times through data-guided matching, virtual primary care, and navigation tools, driving growth via product expansions and integrations that reach over 100 million people.[2][4][7]
Included Health traces its roots to founders Owen Tripp (CEO) and Rusty (co-founder), who envisioned a world with a "doctor in the family" through clinical insights and personalized care to avoid wasteful spending and mistreatment.[2][3] Tripp, with prior experience cofounding Grand Rounds (expert medical opinions) and Reputation.com, plus roles at eBay and Accenture, grew the company from inception, blending tech and clinical expertise.[3] The modern entity emerged from the 2021 merger of Grand Rounds and Doctor On Demand (a virtual care provider), creating a unified platform for navigation and care.[4] Early traction came from data science and human-centered design matching members to skilled clinicians, yielding better outcomes and cost savings, which evolved into broader virtual primary care innovations.[2]
Included Health rides the virtual care and consumerism wave post-COVID, addressing primary care shortages, regulatory shifts, and AI integration amid rising employer demands for cost-effective, patient-centered models.[4] Its timing capitalizes on pandemic-accelerated telehealth adoption and navigation needs, evolving from siloed services to a "single source" for integrated care that influences ecosystem trends like rethinking in-person models and equitable access.[4] Market forces favoring it include employer purchasing power, AI-driven personalization, and consumer frustration with traditional systems, positioning it to shape U.S. healthcare by serving 100+ million lives and partnering with top firms.[4][7]
Included Health is poised to expand beyond virtual primary care into further product innovations, leveraging AI, data insights, and member feedback to deepen its "doctor in the family" vision amid ongoing primary care gaps and consumerism shifts.[2][4] Trends like regulatory evolution, AI ethics, and hybrid care models will test and propel it, potentially amplifying influence through more Fortune 500 partnerships and outcome-proven scalability. As a pioneer breaking healthcare barriers, it stands to redefine accessible, high-standard care for millions, fulfilling its mission to raise the bar for everyone.[1][3]
