The pending acquisition will bring together Included Health’s AI-native, virtual care platform with Firefly’s clinically integrated health plan that integrates primary care with a nationwide near- and in-home care and specialty network.
Virtual care and health navigation company Included Health inked a deal to acquire Firefly Health to scale health plan alternatives for employers.
In January, Included Health launched an alternative health plan design for employers, broadening its existing all-in-one virtual care platform. Firefly Health, founded in 2017, is a primary care and health plan provider serving more than 20,000 individuals nationally.
The deal is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026. The companies did not disclose financial details of the acquisition.
