With IPO Talk, Telehealth Buy, Startup’s Future May Be Bright With Chart: Bright Health’s Membership, at a Glance

After 2020 proved to be a banner year for initial public offerings, three separate startup health insurers — Alignment Healthcare, Clover Health and Oscar Health — rode the wave and launched IPOs in the early months of 2021. Now, Bright Health Inc. is reportedly poised to become the fourth insurer to do so, and in the meantime has picked up a telehealth asset for good measure.

Industry experts tell AIS Health that while many aspects of Bright Health’s business will become clearer if it does end up trading publicly, the company so far looks more likely than some of its fellow startups to succeed.
