Wheel

What Wheel does

Wheel (Wheel Health, Inc.) is a healthcare technology company founded in 2018 in Austin, Texas, that provides white-label, enterprise-grade virtual care infrastructure to digital health companies, pharma and life sciences firms, health plans, retailers, and AI health companies. The company operates a 50-state independent clinician network (Wheel Provider Group) plus a separate clinical governance body (Wheel Medical Group), and embeds these clinical operations inside partner brands rather than building a direct-to-consumer brand of its own.

The core technology is Wheel Horizon, a modular, API-first, HIPAA/SOC 2/HITRUST-aligned care enablement platform that combines patient intake, scheduling, synchronous and asynchronous visit modalities, integrated EMR workflows, remote patient monitoring, and a library of 70+ evidence-based care programs. In February 2026, Wheel expanded Horizon with an AI-Native Clinical Action Layer that ingests context from LLM chat histories, personal health records, lab results, and wearable data, and orchestrates downstream clinical actions (prescriptions, lab orders, referrals, follow-ups). The company also launched WheelX, an enterprise exchange that distributes AI-native health experiences from third-party builders to enterprise healthcare buyers under a shared revenue model.

Wheel monetizes across multiple streams: enterprise platform licensing (B2B SaaS with quote-based, multi-year contracts), managed clinical services through the Wheel Provider Group, white-label/OEM embedded care for brands such as Amazon Clinic, GoodRx Care, and Walmart Better Care Services, per-visit clinical delivery billing, and WheelX front-end licensing with revenue share. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers engage via "Contact Sales" and "Request a demo" CTAs. Through 2022, the company raised approximately $216M across four funding rounds led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, Tiger Global, CRV, and Tusk Ventures, with a Series C of $150M in January 2022.

Revenue model

1. Enterprise Platform Licensing (B2B SaaS): Wheel sells its Horizon virtual care platform and clinical operations to enterprise clients (digital health, pharma, health plans, retailers, AI health) via quote-based sales. Recurring platform licensing with white-label or co-branded deployment.
2. Clinical Services / Managed Services: Wheel monetizes its nationwide clinician network and clinical operations on a managed services basis — delivering care on behalf of clients through the Wheel Provider Group and Wheel Medical Group.
3. WheelX Exchange / AI Health Distribution: WheelX operates a shared success model with front-end licensing and revenue share with AI-native builders distributed via the enterprise exchange to healthcare buyers.
4. White-Label / OEM Embedded Care: Wheel provides white-labeled care delivery infrastructure to brands like Amazon Clinic, GoodRx Care, Walmart Better Care Services, Best Buy, and Owlet — embedding its clinical services into partner-branded experiences.
5. Per-Visit / Usage-Based Clinical Delivery: Wheel's clinicians are paid per patient visit (or by the hour in some cases), and Wheel in turn monetizes clinical delivery on a per-visit basis with client partners.

Core offering

Wheel provides a white-label, API-first virtual care enablement platform (Wheel Horizon) that combines a 50-state independent clinician network, integrated clinical operations, an AI-powered Clinical Action Layer, 70+ evidence-based care programs, and connected services (labs, pharmacy, insurance, payments) to power enterprise telehealth programs. The platform is sold to digital health companies, pharma and life sciences firms, health plans, retailers, and AI health companies on a quote-based, multi-year subscription basis, with clinical delivery available as a managed service.

Product overview

Wheel operates a platform-plus-modules architecture anchored by Wheel Horizon, its core virtual care platform that combines technology, services, and the Wheel Provider Group clinician network. The Wheel Medical Group provides clinical oversight across all programs. On top of Horizon, Wheel offers a portfolio of care program modules — Weight Management, Menopause Care, Sexual Health, Convenience Care, Urgent Care, Condition Care, Custom Care, and Behavioral Health — that enterprises can deploy to address specific patient populations. Wheel Clinic is the direct-to-consumer surface for these programs, while WheelX, the newest addition, is an enterprise exchange that extends Horizon with an AI-Native Clinical Action Layer, ingesting context from LLM chat histories, PHRs, lab results, and wearables to orchestrate multi-step clinical actions across the care journey.

Scale indicators13 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Included Health: Included Health (formed via Doctor On Demand + Grand Rounds combination) offers virtual primary care, behavioral health, and care navigation for employers and health plans. Comparable to Wheel in virtual care delivery but with a broader navigation/advocacy layer that Wheel does not directly replicate.
• Evolent Health: Evolent partners with health plans to deliver specialty care management, including virtual care enablement and chronic condition programs. Comparable to Wheel's health plan segment (cited 5M visits delivered) and chronic condition management offerings.
• Accolade: Accolade provides care navigation, advocacy, and virtual primary care to employers and health plans. Comparable to Wheel in the employer-sponsored care space, particularly adjacent to Wheel's navigation and digital front door capabilities.

Emerging players

• Maven Clinic: Maven Clinic operates a virtual care platform focused on women's and family health — directly comparable to Wheel's menopause and women's hormonal wellness programs (e.g., Versalie for Kenvue). Both serve enterprise clients and integrate with pharma and employer channels.
• Cerebral: Cerebral provides virtual mental health and behavioral health services. Compares to Wheel's Behavioral Health Program (integrated with Talkspace) as a competitor for mental health virtual care demand and a potential partner for similar enterprise distribution.
• Sesame: Sesame is a cash-pay virtual care marketplace connecting patients with clinicians across primary care, urgent care, weight management, and specialty conditions. Compares to Wheel Clinic as a direct-to-consumer virtual care surface, though Sesame is marketplace-driven while Wheel is platform/white-label.

Direct peers

• Amwell: Amwell provides a white-label telehealth platform and clinician network for health systems, health plans, and innovators — directly competing with Wheel Horizon in the enterprise virtual care enablement category. Both monetize through platform licensing plus clinical services revenue.
• Teladoc Health: Teladoc is the largest publicly traded telehealth platform offering enterprise virtual care across many of the same conditions Wheel covers. Both sell enterprise virtual care infrastructure and clinician networks to health plans, employers, and providers, with overlapping chronic condition, behavioral health, and urgent care programs.
• Ro: Ro is a direct-to-consumer virtual care company operating across weight management (Ro Body), men's and women's health, and primary care with vertically integrated pharmacy. Like Wheel, Ro combines telehealth visits with prescription fulfillment and lab services, though primarily under its own brand rather than white-label.
• Hims & Hers Health: Hims & Hers is a direct-to-consumer virtual care platform for weight management (GLP-1), men's and women's health, dermatology, and mental health — overlapping Wheel's weight management, menopause, sexual health, and convenience care programs from the consumer side.
