Catapult Health is a national preventive healthcare practice that delivers preventive care at the worksite. Catapult uses onsite nurses and live video technology to perform checkups and connect employees with board certified Nurse Practitioners. We file healthcare claims for our checkups with health plans, regardless of the location of the employer or patient. This enables us to accurately assess each participant's health risk profile and provide a high level of clinical consultation. Our process and tools are specially designed to identify and treat the risk factors and conditions plaguing corporate America - diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and metabolic syndrome. And our mobility enables us to work with employee populations ranging from 100 to 100,000. With Catapult Health, everyone wins..... the patient, the employer, and the health plan.
