New Program, Headed by Dr. Kristin Collins, Will Utilize Combination of Telehealth Services and On-Site Nursing Support to Deliver Comprehensive Care

DocGo Inc. (Nasdaq: DCGO) (“DocGo” or the “Company”), a leading provider of technology-enabled mobile health services, today announced the launch of the Well Child Visits program in partnership with an insurance provider serving the New York City metropolitan area. Through DocGo’s affiliated clinical practice group, this program will increase pediatric preventative care, strengthen childhood immunization rates and promote health equity by partnering with insurance providers to identify under-engaged patients and provide them with comprehensive at-home wellness visits and/or routine vaccinations. The program is expected to expand across New York State as well as California in the coming months.

Under the leadership of Dr. Kristin Collins, a Stanford-trained pediatrician with over fifteen years of experience caring for children of all ages and Pediatric Medical Director of DocGo’s affiliated clinical practice group, the Well Child Visits program will bring essential preventative care directly to patients' homes to overcome barriers that have traditionally made it challenging for busy parents to get their children to the doctor’s office for general wellness screenings and routine vaccinations.

Studies show that children miss between 30% to 50% of well-child visits, despite the important benefits associated with attending these visits, such as reduced emergency department use and fewer hospitalizations. Common reasons for missed well visits include lack of transportation, difficulty taking time off from work, and lack of childcare.

This program utilizes an innovative combination of telehealth services and on-site nursing support to deliver convenient and comprehensive preventive pediatric care. Important healthcare information gleaned from Well Child Visits will be shared with the patient’s primary care provider or pediatrician to inform and enhance ongoing care plans, ensuring continuity and comprehensive management of the child's health needs.

"At DocGo, we are committed to leveraging our advanced technology and mobile health expertise to develop innovative programs that address pain points in the healthcare industry,” said Lee Bienstock, CEO of DocGo. “The Well Child Visits program exemplifies our mission to deliver quality healthcare to under-engaged populations. By bringing essential preventative care directly to patients' homes, we are breaking down barriers to access and helping ensure that all children have the opportunity to thrive."

"Preventative healthcare is crucial for the healthy development of children. By bringing these services directly to patients' homes, we are closing significant gaps in care and making it easier for families to access the essential health services their children need,” said Dr. Kristin Collins. “This program will provide a vital link between patients and their primary care providers, helping to ensure continuity of care and better health outcomes for our youngest patients at the most crucial stages of their development."

Insurance companies will play a pivotal role in this initiative by identifying patients with care gaps and sharing this information with DocGo. DocGo’s outreach teams will then contact these patients to arrange at-home wellness visits.

The Well Child Visits program marks a significant step forward in ensuring that children receive the preventative care they need, particularly those who may have been previously overlooked. DocGo is excited to partner with healthcare plans and leverage telehealth technology combined with on-site clinical care to make healthcare more accessible and equitable for all.
