According to a news release shared with Becker’s Dec. 7, services will now be available to Blue Shield of California members in Los Angeles, San Diego and Riverside counties, in addition to Orange County. 

DispatchHealth offers in-home, in-person care. More than half of the calls to the service come after 5 p.m., when most primary care options are closed, according to the news release. 

DispatchHealth has received investments from several payers, including UnitedHealth Group’s Optum, Blue Shield of California and Humana.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable, taking place November 2–3 in Chicago, payer executives and healthcare leaders will come together to discuss value-based care, regulatory changes, cost management strategies and innovations shaping the future of payer-provider collaboration. Apply for complimentary registration now.
