October 26 2021 - 08:00AM
Business Wire
SelectQuote, Inc. (NYSE: SLQT) announced a new partnership today
with Ready Responders, which utilizes an innovative care delivery
model to provide non-emergency healthcare services to patients in
their homes. Population Health will provide education and awareness
for members around Ready Responders’ program, giving the knowledge
and tools they need to access high-quality healthcare in a timely
and convenient manner. In line with these efforts, Population
Health will provide its members with SelectQuote specific contact
numbers and information for the Ready Responders in their area.
“Partnering with Ready Responders is another important part of
the Population Health platform as it provides the right site of
care to members in the safety and comfort of their home instead of
going to the emergency room,” said Bob Grant, President,
SelectQuote. “The Population Health ecosystem continues to grow to
offer Seniors the best options for them in their healthcare
journey.”
Over 40% of Population Health members have had one or more
emergency room visits in the last year, while almost 20% have had
two or more visits in the past year. Population Health focuses on
increasing member’s health care literacy by supporting appropriate
navigation of healthcare services to empower members to utilize the
right site of care at the right time. Ready Responders provides a
necessary resource in this important endeavor.
Ready Responders offers on-demand healthcare services for
non-emergent medical care, continuity of care for patients
discharged from an acute facility and more longitudinal care for
patients with complex or chronic conditions. Ready Responders
brings healthcare to patients’ homes through its unique combination
of telehealth and in-person services, delivered by trained
healthcare professionals. The company serves patients in multiple
cities, including New York, Las Vegas, Washington, D.C., New
Orleans and Miami.

“intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “would” and “outlook,” or the
negative version of those words or other comparable words or
phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. These
forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based
on current expectations, estimates and projections about our
industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by
management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently
uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that
any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties
that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the
expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are
reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be
materially different from the results expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements.
Our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in
these forward-looking statements due to a number of important
factors, including, but not limited to, the following: the ultimate
duration and impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic; our reliance
on a limited number of insurance carrier partners and any potential
termination of those relationships or failure to develop new
relationships; existing and future laws and regulations affecting
the health insurance market; changes in health insurance products
offered by our insurance carrier partners and the health insurance
market generally; insurance carriers offering products and services
directly to consumers; changes to commissions paid by insurance
carriers and underwriting practices; competition with brokers,
exclusively online brokers and carriers who opt to sell policies
directly to consumers; competition from government-run health
insurance exchanges; developments in the U.S. health insurance
system; our dependence on revenue from carriers in our senior
segment and downturns in the senior health as well as life,
automotive and home insurance industries; our ability to develop
new offerings and penetrate new vertical markets; risks from
third-party products; failure to enroll individuals during the
Medicare annual enrollment period; our ability to attract,
integrate and retain qualified personnel; our dependence on lead
providers and ability to compete for leads; failure to obtain
and/or convert sales leads to actual sales of insurance policies;
access to data from consumers and insurance carriers; accuracy of
information provided from and to consumers during the insurance
shopping process; cost-effective advertisement through internet
search engines; ability to contact consumers and market products by
telephone; global economic conditions; disruption to operations as
a result of future acquisitions; significant estimates and
assumptions in the preparation of our financial statements;
impairment of goodwill; potential litigation and claims, including
IP litigation; our existing and future indebtedness; developments
with respect to LIBOR; access to additional capital; failure to
protect our intellectual property and our brand; fluctuations in
our financial results caused by seasonality; accuracy and
timeliness of commissions reports from insurance carriers; timing
of insurance carriers’ approval and payment practices; factors that
impact our estimate of the constrained lifetime value of
commissions per policyholder; changes in accounting rules, tax
legislation and other legislation; disruptions or failures of our
technological infrastructure and platform; failure to maintain
relationships with third-party service providers; cybersecurity
breaches or other attacks involving our systems or those of our
insurance carrier partners or third-party service providers; our
ability to protect consumer information and other data; and failure
to market and sell Medicare plans effectively or in compliance with
laws. For a further discussion of these and other risk factors that
could impact our future results and performance, see the section
entitled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K that we have filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and our subsequent filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Accordingly, you should not place undue
reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any
forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is
made, and, except as otherwise required by law, we do not undertake
any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking
