Teladoc Health is strengthening its integrated care strategy with the acquisition of Catapult Health, a leader in virtual preventive care. The move underscores Teladoc Health’s commitment to enhancing early detection, chronic care management, and at-home diagnostics, reinforcing its position as a comprehensive virtual care provider.
Expanding Preventive and Chronic Care Capabilities
The acquisition enables Teladoc Health to integrate Catapult Health’s VirtualCheckup—an at-home wellness exam—into its existing virtual care ecosystem. This offering provides members with a convenient way to conduct preventive screenings, including blood pressure checks, blood sample collection, and risk assessment, followed by a virtual consultation with a licensed nurse practitioner.
With the ability to directly enroll eligible members into Teladoc Health’s chronic care programs for conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and weight management, the acquisition facilitates seamless care coordination. Additionally, Catapult Health’s technology will support new enhancements, such as lab-confirmed A1c values to optimize enrollment and care gap closure.
Strategic Growth and Enhanced Member Experience
Teladoc Health has consistently emphasized four key strategic priorities: increasing membership and service utilization, leveraging clinical expertise to improve health outcomes, expanding its international presence, and advancing its position in virtual mental health care. The addition of Catapult Health aligns with these objectives by broadening access to preventive services and enabling earlier intervention for chronic conditions.
“Catapult Health’s capabilities will help advance our strategy in meaningful ways—from giving more members access to convenient and impactful wellness and preventive care to unlocking greater value for our customers,” said Chuck Divita, Chief Executive Officer of Teladoc Health. “Catapult Health brings an experienced team and a strong culture of innovation, and we are thrilled to welcome them to Teladoc Health.”
Financial and Operational Impact
Teladoc Health has agreed to acquire Catapult Health in an all-cash transaction valued at $65 million, with an additional $5 million in potential earnout payments. Catapult Health, which reported approximately $30 million in revenue over the past twelve months, will operate within Teladoc Health’s Integrated Care segment once the transaction closes in Q1 2025.
The company’s VirtualCheckup program has demonstrated significant clinical and financial benefits. Independent analyses indicate that employers and health plans see an estimated $1,400 in cost savings per participant over three years. Furthermore, the checkup has contributed to early disease detection, with 30% of members discovering high blood pressure and 28% identifying prediabetes for the first time.
“For over a decade, we’ve been helping customers improve health outcomes and bend the cost curve,” said David Michel, Chief Executive Officer of Catapult Health. “Joining forces with Teladoc Health will help us accelerate our impact and advance our shared mission to empower healthier lives.”
The Future of Integrated Virtual Care
As virtual care continues to evolve, Teladoc Health’s acquisition of Catapult Health marks another step toward a more comprehensive, data-driven healthcare ecosystem. By integrating at-home diagnostics with chronic care management and mental health services, Teladoc Health is setting a new standard for accessible, preventive, and long-term care solutions.
With a 93-million-member base and an expanding suite of integrated offerings, Teladoc Health remains at the forefront of virtual healthcare innovation, ensuring that individuals receive timely, high-quality, and cost-effective care.
