Harbor Health

What Harbor Health does

Harbor Health is a vertically integrated multi-specialty clinic group and health insurer headquartered in Austin, Texas, founded in September 2022 by Dr. Clay Johnston (former inaugural Dean of UT Austin Dell Medical School), Tony Miller (founder of Bind/Surest), and Eric Scott (8VC). The company operates a 'pay-vider' model that pairs its owned clinic network with proprietary health insurance plans, including large employer group plans and individual/family plans launched on healthcare.gov in November 2025. Following the September 2025 acquisition of 32 VillageMD clinics and the February 2026 acquisition of Seattle-based Rippl (a dementia care platform), Harbor Health operates 42+ clinic locations across Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, El Paso, and Florida, supported by two mobile health units and three Express Care sites.

The clinical platform centers on condition-focused care pathways for diabetes, hypertension, chronic pain, and dementia, delivered through dedicated care teams that include primary care, specialty care, behavioral health via the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM), infusion therapy, health coaching, and telehealth. Members enrolled in Harbor Health Insurance receive $0 out-of-pocket on primary care and specialist referrals when following their care plan. Harbor Health holds risk contracts with BCBS of Texas across multiple product lines, an ACO REACH agreement with CMS, and participates in the CMS GUIDE dementia program. Reported outcomes include a net promoter score of 90 and more than 50,000 patients served in Central Texas since launch.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: health insurance premiums from large employer groups and individual/family plans, fee-for-service clinical care, and risk-based contractual arrangements with payers including BCBS of Texas and CMS. Harbor Health has raised approximately $320 million across three funding rounds ($30M seed in 2022, $95.5M Series B in January 2024 led by General Catalyst, and $130M in September 2025 led by General Catalyst, 8VC, and Alta Partners) from institutional investors including General Catalyst, 8VC, Alta Partners, DFO Management, Health 2047 Capital Partners, Lemhi Ventures, Martin Ventures, and Breyer Capital.

Revenue model

1. Health Insurance Premiums: Harbor Health generates revenue through health insurance premiums from large employer group plans and individual/family plans offered on healthcare.gov. The company acts as both a payer and provider (pay-vider), aligning insurance benefits with coordinated care delivery.
2. Clinical Care Services: Revenue from providing primary care, specialty care, mental health services, infusion therapy, and Express Care (walk-in/after-hours) services. Services are billed to insurance or paid through risk contracts with payers including BCBS of Texas and CMS.
3. Risk Contractual Agreements: Harbor Health secures risk contracts with multiple payers and employers, including BCBS of Texas across multiple product lines and an ACO REACH product with CMS. These value-based arrangements reward providers for reducing health risks and lowering total cost of care.
