Teladoc Health Acquires Catapult Health: Revolutionizing Integrated Care for Better Patient Outcomes

On February 5, 2025, Teladoc Health announced its plan to acquire Catapult Health. This move aims to enhance virtual care services, combining Teladoc’s expertise with Catapult’s focus on preventive care.

Teladoc Health is already a big player in virtual healthcare, with over 93 million members. They want to build on this success by improving care management and connecting members with quality care. This acquisition aligns with their strategy to grow their services and promote better health outcomes.

Chuck Divita, Teladoc’s CEO, expressed excitement about the merger, highlighting how Catapult Health’s services can provide members with better access to wellness and preventive care.

Catapult Health offers a unique at-home wellness exam called VirtualCheckup. Members use a kit to collect a blood sample, check blood pressure, and more. Afterward, they consult with a licensed nurse practitioner to review results and create a personalized health plan. This process can lead to early detection of health issues, which is vital for effective care.

If members show high-risk factors, Catapult’s clinicians can enroll them in additional Teladoc programs focused on diabetes, hypertension, and weight management, or refer them to virtual mental health support. This integration provides a seamless experience for those needing extra care.

David Michel, CEO of Catapult Health, noted that merging with Teladoc will amplify their efforts to promote healthier lives for members and achieve more significant health outcomes.

The acquisition, valued at $65 million, includes an additional $5 million in contingent earnings based on performance. Catapult Health had about $30 million in revenue over the past year. The deal is expected to finalize in the first quarter of 2025, pending standard conditions.

Catapult Health has a track record of high customer satisfaction, reflected by their impressive Net Promoter Score of over 81. Their VirtualCheckup has proven effective, with many members discovering health risks like high blood pressure for the first time. Moreover, an independent study noted that their services could save over $1,400 per member over three years.

With this acquisition, Teladoc is set to enhance its integrated care services and expand its impact in the healthcare landscape.
