Teleradiology provider inks post-acute care deal worth $1.5M annually
VSee Health has inked a teleradiology services contract with one of the country’s largest post-acute care hospital systems, carrying an annual value of $1.5 million.
The publicly traded, San Jose, Calif., firm announced the agreement Thursday, noting that the partnership will launch sometime in 2025’s first quarter.
Initially, VSee plans to roll out its services across three hospital locations, with the contract slated to automatically renew each year. The company said it is seeing growing momentum in its teleradiology business, also announcing a separate deal with Premier Inc.
“As many health systems continue to face resource constraints and specialist shortages in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, this agreement enables us to further expand access to our scalable, cutting-edge telehealth solutions,” Imo Aisiku, MD, co-CEO of VSee Health, said in an announcement. “With teleradiology already gaining significant traction, we are excited to extend this essential service to Premier’s expansive network, ensuring greater access to high-quality care.”
The Premier deal took effect Sept. 1 and allows Premier’s member health systems to use special pricing and terms prenegotiated by the organization. Based in Charlotte, N.C., Premier, a “technology driven healthcare company,” boasts a network of more than 4,350 member hospitals and health systems.
VSee did not specify the amount of the Premier contract nor the name of the post-acute provider in the other deal. The company hopes to help the two new clients improve diagnostic accuracy, accelerate turnaround times and enhance outcomes via 24/7 interpretation services. It sees promise in teleradiology, which was worth $30 billion last year and projected to reach $48.5 billion by 2031.
“This growth reflects the increasing demand for advanced diagnostic capabilities and remote imaging solutions,” VSee said. “The rise of teleradiology is transforming healthcare delivery by ensuring radiology services are accessible to underserved areas, reducing delays in diagnosis, and enabling real-time consultations.”
Founded in 2008, VSee’s clients include the NASA Space Station, Health and Human Services, McKesson, Magellan, DaVita, GE and numerous startups. The company also operates in dermatology, internal medicine, mental health, pediatrics and other specialties. You can read more about its teleradiology division here.
