Sidecar Health Expands To Utah

El Segundo-based online health insurance company Sidecar Health--which is backed by $175M in funding from from Drive Capital, BOND, Menlo Ventures, Tiger Global, Cathay Innovation, GreatPoint Ventures and Morpheus Ventures--said on Thursday that it is now available to consumers in Utah, bringing the total number of states it is operating in to 16. The company, led by CEO Patrick Quigley, allows members to pay "cash price" for health services, which is typically a steep savings compared with insurance negotiated rates. The company's health insurance is provided via a special Visa card. The company also offers up plans in Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.
