Our take
With chronic and other behaviorally-determined conditions now making up over 80% of healthcare costs, ongoing care and behavioral adjustments are key to controlling healthcare spend. For employers, rethinking how they can center their healthcare strategy around the delivery and financing of comprehensive care can be a clear way to drive towards more predictable health care costs.
Firefly are a virtual-first healthcare delivery system with primary care providers, virtual specialists and behavioral health providers that is complemented by a network of physical facility partners.
Firefly Health is looking to expand its stake in the $4.5 trillion health and wellness industry against competitors such as LV Health Solutions. Firefly's comprehensive primary care approach has delivered demonstrated clinical and financial outcomes including 30% savings on employee healthcare costs, a 52% decrease in ER visits for Firefly patients, and several impressive rounds of funding from leading investors.
