THE LARGER TREND
In July last year, Amazon announced it signed a definitive agreement to purchase One Medical for $3.9 billion. Several months later, the tech and retail giant said the deal was under review by the Federal Trade Commission.
In February, Amazon closed its billion-dollar acquisition of the primary care provider. At the time, news outlets reported the Federal Trade Commission wouldn’t sue to block the deal but would continue its investigation.
In its latest earnings report, One Medical reported a total of 836,000 members at the end of 2022, a 14% increase year-over-year, with an ending consumer and enterprise membership count of 796,000. The company reported full-year 2022 net revenue of $1.046 billion, a 68% increase year-over-year.
In 2021, Rightway scored $100 million in Series C funding at a valuation of $1.1 billion. Two years before, the care navigation platform garnered $20 million in Series B funding and $8 million in Series A financing.
