Crossover Health — which offers primary care, health coaching, mental healthcare, physical therapy and lab testing — recently expanded into Seattle, New York City and Austin, Texas, the website reports. It serves employees of tech companies like Amazon and LinkedIn. It joins competitors like One Medical, Carbon Health, VillageMD and Forward Health.

The primary care market is big — with more than 153 million patients, according to the website — yet fickle. More than 61 percent of patients say they’d switch providers just to get an improved patient portal, per an Experian Health report cited by eMarketer.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
