Specialty care navigation is a notoriously tangled web of referrals, prior authorizations, and patient confusion. Switchboard Health is betting that a software platform and a national network of providers can untangle it, and it just secured $5.0M to push that vision forward.
The company works with health plans, employers, and providers to steer patients toward high-value specialty services, aiming to cut costs and improve access along the way. The fresh capital arrives as employers and insurers increasingly look for ways to manage the most expensive and fragmented corners of healthcare, though the company has not disclosed who is backing the round or how the funds will be deployed.
