Devoted Health will start selling the plans, which serve as a private-sector alternative to traditional Medicare, in Florida before expanding nationwide.

The company plans to leverage homegrown technology, including a 24-hour call center and automated care alerts that notify a member’s physician when something goes wrong, to foster a more coordinated healthcare experience.

This latest funding effort, a series B investment round, was led by venture firm Andreessen Horowitz.
