DispatchHealth mobile in-home health provider. DispatchHealthDispatchHealth, which provides mobile and in-home health services, announced that it had raised $33 million in Series B funding on Tuesday. DispatchHealth aims to reduce ER visits among the 100,000 patients it expects to serve this year and anticipates a savings of more than $100 million in direct medical spending in 2019. Prather says his company’s platform, which primarily serves Medicare and Medicare Advantage patients, complements rather than substitutes for traditional care and is aimed at older patients and those that struggle with access to healthcare. “Typically we’ve focused on an intervention in the home that’s a single episode, designed to reduce unnecessary ER utilization,” Prather said.
