CityMD

What CityMD does

CityMD is a private urgent care provider founded in 2010, operating walk-in clinics across New York and New Jersey. The company merged with Summit Health in 2019 and now operates as a subsidiary of Summit Health Management, LLC, with the legal entity WP CityMD Topco LLC domiciled in Delaware. CityMD delivers non-emergency medical care for acute illnesses and injuries, pediatric conditions, women's health concerns, vaccinations, lab tests, X-rays, COVID-19 testing, and occupational health services, staffed by board-certified Emergency Medicine and Family Medicine physicians. Its primary customer segments are individual consumers seeking convenient walk-in care without long emergency room wait times, and employers purchasing occupational health services.

The core technology layer consists of the Summit + CityMD Mobile App (available on iOS and Android) and a desktop web app that enable 24/7 virtual care, online appointment booking up to two days in advance, clinical results viewing, and bill payment. CityMD integrates with athenahealth for its patient portal, with third-party platforms Swellbox and SmartRequest for medical records requests, and operates its own online bill payment system. No APIs, SDKs, or proprietary AI/ML capabilities are publicly disclosed.

Revenue is generated primarily through per-visit patient service fees, with the practice accepting most major commercial insurance plans, Managed Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, and exchange plans, plus cash and credit card payments for uninsured patients. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer via walk-ins and online booking, supplemented by a B2B channel for occupational health services targeting employers with on-the-job injury care, DOT physicals, and workplace screenings. Cumulative disclosed funding totals approximately $172M across 2017-2021.

• DispatchHealth: DispatchHealth delivers on-demand acute care in the home, competing with CityMD for the same low-to-mid acuity visits but via a mobile/in-home model rather than a clinic footprint.
