Q & A Highlights
Q: Can you expand on what's driving the recent flurry of contract wins? Is it due to market demand or internal strategies?
A: Lee Bienstock, CEO: It's both. There's increasing market adoption for in-home care and addressing patients without access to good care. Our programs have shown significant ROI, such as a 50% reduction in hospital readmissions, which saves money for health plans and hospitals. This success is helping us expand our programs and sign new contracts.
Q: Did your core business grow 30% year-over-year in the quarter?
A: Lee Bienstock, CEO: The core business was relatively flat quarter-over-quarter. We anticipate strong growth in the back half of the year as new contracts and programs expand.
Q: Can you discuss fiscal 2025 revenue expectations, particularly the $400 million base business and the payer component?
A: Lee Bienstock, CEO: For 2025, we expect the base business to be $400 million, with $50 million from the payer vertical. This includes care gap closures, primary care provider roles, and patient monitoring. We expect significant growth in these areas next year.
Q: How does the current healthcare environment, with rising costs and utilization, impact DocGo?
A: Lee Bienstock, CEO: We fit well into this environment by providing proactive care to manage chronic conditions before they become costly. Our services save money for health plans and improve patient outcomes, aligning with the current healthcare system's goals.
Q: Are you still expecting the base business to be $280 million to $300 million this year?
A: Lee Bienstock, CEO: Yes, we are still projecting $280 million to $300 million for the base business this year.
