Ready operates an on-demand care model that dispatches Responders (trained EMTs, paramedics and nurses) to patients' homes and connects them via telehealth to Clinicians (doctors and nurse practitioners). The service provides on-demand, non-emergent medical care, continuity after acute-facility discharge, and longitudinal care for patients with complex or chronic conditions. Ready primarily serves Medicaid beneficiaries and patients dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid, and has been providing in-home COVID-19 testing during the pandemic. The company plans to expand into mental health, broaden point-of-care testing, offer vaccinations, and pursue new approaches to improve care quality for patients and payer partners. The recent financing will be used to expand operations and clinical programs amid rapid expansion in 2020. Ready currently serves patients in multiple U.S. cities including New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Reno, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport and Houma. Ready delivers at-home COVID-19 testing, symptom monitoring and non-emergent medical care directly to patients. Its Responders—trained EMTs, paramedics and nurses—visit patients in their homes and can connect them to doctors and advanced practice providers via telehealth for immediate diagnoses and treatment. Ready accepts most insurance types, including Medicare and Medicaid, and positions its service as a way to avoid costly emergency room visits and reduce infectious exposure. The company operates in Washington, D.C., parts of Maryland, southeastern Louisiana, Las Vegas and Reno, Los Angeles and New York City, and is expanding into major urban centers in Florida, Pennsylvania and Texas. Responders have received COVID-19–specific training, use protective gear, and Ready says it works under guidance from the CDC, WHO and local public health authorities. Ready recently secured $48 million in Series B financing led by Deerfield Management Company and GV to support growth and its COVID-19 response.
