What stands out
What this company does
American Well, also known as Amwell, provides the technology platform that powers telehealth, which are doctor visits held over video. The company makes money primarily by selling subscriptions for its software to large organizations like hospital systems and insurance companies. This matters because their goal is to become the essential digital plumbing for the healthcare industry as it increasingly moves online, creating a steady, predictable income stream from these long-term contracts.
Founded in 2006 by brothers and doctors Ido and Roy Schoenberg, Amwell was built on the idea of making healthcare more accessible through technology. The company, originally named American Well, focused on connecting patients and doctors remotely. A major turning point was the COVID-19 pandemic, which dramatically increased the need and demand for telehealth services, leading to significant growth for the company. In 2020, the company rebranded to Amwell and became a publicly traded company. Over the years, Amwell has grown by acquiring other companies to expand its services, particularly in acute care and telepsychiatry.
Amwell provides the technology that allows hospitals, doctor's offices, and health insurance plans to offer virtual medical care to their patients and members. Think of it as the behind-the-scenes platform that powers the video chats you might have with a doctor on your phone or computer. This allows patients to get medical advice, prescriptions, and ongoing care for various conditions without having to travel to a clinic. The company serves a wide range of clients, from large health systems and insurance companies to government agencies.
This is a significant and growing part of Amwell's business, making up more than half of its revenue. Health systems and health insurance companies pay Amwell a recurring fee to use its technology platform. This is similar to how you might pay a monthly subscription for a streaming service. The fee is often based on the number of patients or members who have access to the telehealth services. This provides Amwell with a steady stream of income.
Amwell also makes money from the virtual doctor visits themselves. The company has its own network of doctors and specialists, called the Amwell Medical Group, who provide care to patients through the platform. For each of these virtual visits, Amwell earns a fee. This part of the business is like a pay-per-visit model, where revenue depends on the number of consultations that take place.
Amwell's leadership is focused on becoming the go-to technology platform for what they call "hybrid care," which combines virtual and in-person healthcare. They are investing in their all-in-one platform, called Converge, to provide a single, comprehensive solution for all of their clients' digital health needs. A key priority is reaching profitability, and the company has been working to reduce costs with the goal of having positive cash flow (bringing in more cash than it spends) by the end of 2026. Management also sees a big opportunity in integrating artificial intelligence (AI) to improve care and is focused on large-scale contracts, such as their work with the Department of Veterans Affairs, to drive future growth.
