San Francisco — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Carbon Health announced it has tripled its headcount to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and extended its virtual care service to now serve nearly two-thirds of the U.S. population.
The growth was made possible by its recent strategic round of funding of $28 million led by existing investor DCVC in an extended Series B, bringing the company’s total raised capital to $75 million.
In just the past two months, Carbon Health says it has tripled its staff from 100 to more than 300 employees, assessed over 14,000 coronavirus concerns through its Coronavirus Assessment Tool, and completed more than 12,000 COVID-19 tests across its clinics, COVID-19 Mobile Clinics, and its partnerships with the City of San Francisco and County of Los Angeles.
A key part of the personnel addition included hiring pediatric and mental health providers so that the company could extend its virtual care services to include urgent care, primary care, pediatrics and mental health.
Carbon Health now offers virtual care in 16 states including ten of the largest states. The company plans to be in all 50 states by this summer.
The expansion comes as the telehealth industry sees a surge in growth due to patients with COVID-19 concerns overwhelming hospitals and clinics, creating a challenge for patients seeking non-COVID healthcare needs.
Carbon Health’s virtual care is a video visit through the Carbon Health mobile app. A visit costs $49, about the same or less than insurance co-pays. To access Carbon Health, download the app (iTunes or Google Play) or visit carbonhealth.com.
