History
ZoomCare's first clinic was opened in Tigard, Oregon, in 2006.[9] The company opened its eighth clinic in 2011.[10] In 2012, ZoomCare began offering medical care at no cost at one location for one evening each month.[11]
The company made a minority equity deal with Endeavour Capital in mid 2014.[12] ZoomCare operated 23 clinics in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho at the time.[13] The company also started offering insurance in 2014,[14] but left the market by December 31, 2017.[15][16] Zoom Health had approximately 2,700 customers.[17]
In March 2015, ZoomCare announced a nine-location expansion.[18] The company announced a name change as well as business model changes in May,[19] becoming known as Zoom+ Performance Health Insurance.[20] By mid 2015, there were 21 clinics in the Portland metropolitan area and Salem, plus six in Seattle.[14]
As of December 1, 2024, ZoomCare began accepting Medicare and Medicare Advantage insurance. However, the company does not accept Medicaid or Oregon Health Plan insurance.[21][22][23] In July 2016, ZoomCare settled a trademark infringement lawsuit brought by Blue Cross and Blue Shield in 2015.[24][25][26]
ZoomCare was subpoenaed for medical records by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in mid 2017.[27] The company also settled with Oregon insurance officials over a financial statement discrepancy in 2017.[28] In October, Endeavour decided to invest $24 million in ZoomCare, after settling a dispute out of court.[29][30] ZoomCare was profitable in 2017.[31] The company and Aetna partnered on Aetna Whole Health in 2018.[32]
PeaceHealth, based in Vancouver, Washington, acquired ZoomCare in December 2018.[3][33]
