Included Health Signs Agreement to Acquire Firefly Health; Companies to Combine to Deliver Clinically-Integrated Health Plan Alternative at Scale
Acquisition to Add a Proven 15%+ Total Cost of Care Savings Model, a Nationwide Near- and In-Home Care and Specialty Network, and an Incentive-Aligned Health Plan Architecture
Included Health, a new kind of healthcare company delivering personalized all-in-one healthcare to millions of people nationwide, today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Firefly Health, a clinically integrated health plan and advanced primary care company that has demonstrated 15%+ in total cost of care savings while delivering 90% member satisfaction and proven results across preventive care, chronic disease management, and complex care.

Together, we’re giving employers a single, connected benefits experience that integrates plan design and administration, comprehensive care, and full system support to reduce friction, improve employee health, and lower costs.”
Firefly Health’s results are proven: in 2025, the company delivered a 15% reduction in total cost of care across its full Administrative Services Only (ASO) book of business compared to a risk-adjusted market benchmark, with every customer reporting savings and one exceeding 17%…
