The recent five year co marketing
deal between inHealth and Anthem (US second largest health insurer) will allow inHealth to reach 106m people through their affiliates. Guess who Anthem has partnered with as of July 2018? None other than American Well and Samsung! Consumers with the Samsung health app on their device gain access to America Well Telehealth services. Also the deal mentions Telehealth services that are at this time not offered by inHealth’s website so
expect growth within inhealths service offerings throughout 2019.
