About the Company

RightSite Health

Navigated non-emergency care reduces ER visits

RightSite Health helps reduce unnecessary emergency room visits by guiding patients with non-emergency needs to the right care. It relies on a network of Navigators who assist patients in accessing urgent care, clinic appointments, or prescription refills, and who also offer services like roundtrip transportation and follow-up checks. Revenue comes from partnerships with healthcare providers and payors who benefit from lower ER congestion and reduced costs. What sets RightSite Health apart is its navigator-driven, end-to-end care navigation model that integrates transportation and follow-up support to steer patients away from the ER and toward appropriate care options. The company’s goal is to lower healthcare costs, improve patient satisfaction, and decrease avoidable ER visits through coordinated, patient-centered care pathways.
