Counsel Health has announced the launch of its next-generation AI care platform, built to serve as the responsible front door to healthcare. Backed by a $25 million Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and GV. Counsel combines the immediacy of AI with the oversight of licensed physicians to deliver care that is faster, safer, and more cost-effective at scale. This follows the company's $11 million Seed raise, led by a16z in October 2024, underscoring the need for a healthcare experience that combines medical AI with in-house doctors.

Counsel Health is the AI-enabled virtual care company serving as the new MD + AI front door to healthcare for payers, employers, and health systems. Its clinically responsible model combines in-house doctors with medical AI to deliver immediate care that safely resolves nearly all member concerns in minutes. By replacing outdated modes of access like nurse triage lines and telehealth, Counsel helps payers reduce high-cost claims, amplify existing benefits, and strengthen member engagement for the AI era.
