Premise Health and Crossover Health Merge for Enhanced Care

In a significant move set to reshape the landscape of primary healthcare, Premise Health and Crossover Health have formally announced their merger, establishing a unified organization aimed at delivering comprehensive advanced primary care and occupational health services to various employers, unions, and health plans.

This merger, revealed in a press release on January 28, 2026, highlights the commitment of both companies to transform healthcare delivery across the United States. The combined entity is projected to operate nearly 900 wellness centers serving over 400 organizations and millions of members nationwide, including onsite, near-site, and virtual care options.

A Broader Spectrum of Services

The integration of services aims to significantly enhance the healthcare experience for employees and their families. Both Premise and Crossover specialize in advanced primary care and occupational health, offering a wide range of services. These include behavioral health, care management, care navigation, physical therapy, chiropractic care, and pharmacy services. The pharmacy services segment, which includes pharmacist-led chronic condition management and patient education, will work towards improving access and outcomes for patients.

The new organization is dedicated to innovating healthcare access by integrating service offerings to alleviate some of the systemic issues faced in commercial healthcare. The merger will accelerate existing alternative payment models that focus on primary care-centered health plans, further enhancing value for both patients and healthcare providers.

Proven Impact on Healthcare Costs

A 2024 study conducted by Premise involving over 200,000 lives demonstrated substantial cost savings for patients who received care through the company. On average, patients saved around 30%, or $2,434 a year, on their total healthcare costs. These savings were attributed largely to increased utilization of primary care, improved management of chronic conditions, and reductions in emergency room visits and hospital admissions. Such data underscores the effectiveness of a primary care-centric approach, which the unified organization seeks to enhance further.

Leadership and Vision

Stu Clark, CEO of Premise Health, will helm the newly formed organization. He remarked, "Our two organizations share a firm conviction that primary care should be the foundation of any high-functioning healthcare system. Our separate efforts have focused on easy access to care and a team-based approach, and now we are excited to bring those efforts together to create a transformative new company."

Joining Clark in leadership are the founder and CEO of Crossover Health, Dr. Scott Shreeve, along with Chief Revenue Officer Nate Murray. Dr. Shreeve expressed enthusiasm about the merger, emphasizing the intent to build a stronger and more innovative organization that fundamentally transforms how populations access health services.

Regulatory Approval Process

The completion of this ambitious merger is contingent upon a series of customary closing conditions, primarily regulatory approvals. Both organizations are confident in the merger’s potential to lead to improved care delivery outcomes and to fundamentally shift the healthcare model toward one that prioritizes primary care.
