Grand Rounds — a leader in healthcare quality and clinical navigation — recently announced it has secured a $175 million round led by The Carlyle Group. With this funding round, Grand Rounds will accelerate clinical navigation and virtual primary care.
Currently, the company covers 6 million lives across more than 130 large self-insured employers and has undergone a period of rapid growth and improved member outcomes. Along with launching several new virtual provider offerings to enable access to high-quality care amidst COVID-19, Grand Rounds expanded its relationships with some of the nation’s most forward-thinking innovators in healthcare benefits like The Home Depot, Walmart, Salesforce and Travelers. Over the past year, the company has increased its covered lives by 55%.
Grand Rounds has recently launched several new solutions to expand the ways it connects and develops long-term relationships with members as well as handle any healthcare need in the virtual setting whether it is clinical, financial or administrative. And Urgent Response (the company’s 24/7 crisis response offering) was unveiled in April 2020 to support employees impacted by COVID-19 and employers navigating the challenges of workplace reopenings.
Plus Grand Rounds also enhanced its Premier Navigation solution to include telemedicine, becoming the first in the market to go beyond “tele-urgent” care and to transform virtual care into a comprehensive and integrated experience with both clinical navigation and specialty care. For example, Grand Rounds’ telemedicine physicians are able to see member plan and coverage information and other relevant benefits to create personalized, effective, and affordable care plans, ultimately reducing costs and improving outcomes.
Including this round, Grand Rounds has raised over $270 million to date, allowing the business to continue scaling its operations across the country.
