Call9

Call9 was a healthcare technology company that specialized in providing emergency medical services to residents of skilled nursing facilities through a hybrid telemedicine model. Founded in 2015 by Dr. Timothy Peck, the company placed emergency-trained first responders on-site 24/7 to facilitate immediate video consultations with remote emergency physicians. This "high-tech, high-touch" approach was designed to bypass the traditional 911 system, significantly reducing unnecessary hospital transfers and associated costs. At its peak, Call9 managed thousands of patients daily and partnered with major insurers like Anthem and Aetna. However, the company ceased operations in 2019 following financial difficulties and shifts in the regulatory landscape for telehealth reimbursement.
