Included Health, a leading provider of virtual and in-person care for millions of Americans, has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Firefly Health.
The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of calendar year 2026, subject to customary regulatory review.
Firefly Health, founded in 2017, is a primary care and health plan provider serving more than 20,000 individuals in the U.S.
Owen Tripp, co-founder and CEO of Included Health, says: “Included Health and Firefly share the core belief that investing in primary care and navigating people to quality is what actually lowers unnecessary costs — not narrowing networks or shifting costs to members.”
“We’ve seen firsthand what works, and Firefly’s proven results in total cost of care and member experience align and complement our core offerings. Together, we’re giving employers a single, connected benefits experience that integrates plan design and administration, comprehensive care, and full system support to reduce friction, improve employee health, and lower costs, added Owen Tripp.
More than 5000 digital health startups have been acquired to date, according to our global Digital Health M&A tracker.
