Key Takeaways From Our Third Quarter
At DocGo, we’re reimagining the way healthcare is delivered, with a goal of bringing high quality, highly accessible health care to all. As we approach year’s end—with new partners and expanded programs—I’m proud to say we’re closer to that goal than ever.
To our valued team, patients, partners, and investors, I’m excited to share key accomplishments from the third quarter and our vision for closing the year strong.
1. Expanding Our Impact to Hundreds of Thousands of New Patients
This quarter, DocGo significantly expanded its care gap closure services to meet increased demand from our payer partners. We have been assigned over 500,000 patient lives in 2024 and have opened up new hubs up and down the West Coast to meet this demand. We doubled the average weekly number of visits, bringing at-home and mobile healthcare to thousands of new, underserved patients.
In the news just last month, one of the largest payers in the country announced a significant drop in its Medicare Advantage Star ratings, which according to analysts, could reduce its 2026 EBITDA by as much as 50%. This is a crucial topic on the mind of every payer in the country and we believe our care gap closure programs are an ideal solution to help improve plan ratings and potentially have a material positive financial impact for our customers.
This news, and the increase in our patient assignments underscores the need for care gap solutions nationwide—and DocGo’s growing capacity to meet the needs of larger and more diverse patient populations.
Care Gap Closures: DocGo’s home visits and telehealth services help close gaps in care for the hardest-to-reach patient populations. DocGo coordinates the delivery of overdue screenings directly to underserved patients’ homes, using our proprietary technology and protocols to maximize success. |
In September, we introduced care gap services to California Medi-Cal enrollees by partnering with a top-10 national insurer. This partnership allows our team to reach hundreds of thousands of California patients who have faced traditional barriers to healthcare access.
Through at-home and mobile clinics, DocGo will facilitate well-child visits, fluoride treatments, vaccinations, diabetes screenings, and other healthcare services for this population.
2. Bringing New, Nationally Recognized Leaders on Board
Last quarter, we introduced our Medical Advisory Board (MAB), bringing together top physicians and specialists from leading institutions. Over the past several months, the MAB has played a key role in identifying new ways for DocGo to expand its clinical offerings and meet patient needs.
This quarter, we appointed Dr. Stephen K. Klasko, a true healthcare visionary, as board chair. Dr. Klasko has decades of healthcare leadership experience, including eight years as President of Thomas Jefferson University and CEO of Jefferson Health, and he is currently a Special Advisor at venture capital firm General Catalyst. As chair, he will guide our board’s efforts to transform healthcare delivery through proactive and value-based strategies.
Proactive Care: Proactive care is an approach that focuses on preventing health problems before they occur or become severe, rather than just treating them when they arise. DocGo is leading the proactive healthcare revolution with an innovative care delivery platform that includes mobile health services and remote patient monitoring. |
Our success stems from healthcare leaders across specialties collaborating to find innovative solutions to help address some of today’s most pressing challenges. Dr. Klasko’s passion and expertise will be invaluable to this work.
3. Winning National Recognition for Our Commitment to Compliance
At DocGo, integrity is a cornerstone of our culture. Compliance and risk management are the starting point of everything we do.
Thanks to the dedication of our Chief Compliance Officer, Stephen Sugrue, our compliance committee, and every team member, I’m proud to share that we were named a finalist for two different independent awards – the 2024 NAVEX Excellence Awards in the Compliance & Risk Program of the Year category and the Best Compliance and Ethics Program (small to mid-cap) in Governance Intelligence’s 2024 Corporate Governance Awards.
4. Seeing Continued Strong Performance
We saw strong performance across all customer verticals in Q3, thanks to robust demand tailwinds and new contracts.
Total revenue for the quarter was $138.7 million, compared to $186.6 million in the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to the planned wind down of migrant-related programs. Net income was $4.5 million in Q3 of 2024, compared with net income of $4.6 million in the third quarter of 2023, as we were able to offset the impact of the decline in revenues with significantly improved gross margins.
And as of September 30, 2024, the company held total cash and cash equivalents of approximately $108.5 million, compared to $85.8 million on June 30, 2024.
Looking Ahead
As we close out the third quarter, I’m reflecting on DocGo’s remarkable achievements—and a personal milestone: one year as CEO.
It’s an honor to lead a company that has already made a profound impact on healthcare, but I can’t help but feel like we’re just getting started. Each quarter, we push more boundaries, reach new communities, and welcome more visionary healthcare professionals to our team.
Our company has accomplished incredible things over the last 12 months, including transporting over 1.1 million patients and facilitating care through more than 820,000 mobile health interactions. Bringing care to this many people is a clear manifestation of our mission to bring high quality, highly accessible care to all.
Looking ahead, I’m excited to see our new programs thrive—whether it’s expanding our well-child visits program, reaching more patients through care-gap closure services, or scaling initiatives like our mobile x-ray unit in New York City. I’m also looking forward to working closely with our new leaders, from the MAB to Dr. Klasko, whose passion and expertise further our mission.
But most of all, I’m excited to see our team bring fresh ideas to the table, because that’s what DocGo is all about: using innovation to make healthcare more proactive, accessible, and impactful for patients everywhere.
It was a strong quarter for DocGo—but as I said, we’re just getting started. Thank you to our patients, partners, and investors for your support. We look forward to continuing this journey with all of you.
Lee Bienstock, Chief Executive Officer, DocGo
