## Supporting Evidence
**Source:** Omada Health Q1 2026 earnings (May 7, 2026)
Omada Health crossed 1 million members in Q1 2026 with 42% YoY revenue growth ($78M vs $55M) while achieving consecutive EBITDA-positive quarters (+$1M vs -$4M prior year). Gross margins improved from 58% to 62% GAAP (60% to 64% non-GAAP) as membership scaled 51% YoY. This demonstrates operating leverage at scale: revenue per member is growing while unit costs decline, confirming the digital health VBC model achieves structural margin improvement through software-based delivery without proportional headcount scaling.

## Supporting Evidence
**Source:** Omada Health Q1 2026 earnings (May 7, 2026)
Omada's 1M member milestone with improving unit economics validates the atoms-to-bits architecture: CGM devices (atoms) generate continuous glucose data that feeds AI coaching (bits), creating a behavioral health platform that achieves 42% revenue growth with 62% gross margins. The 150K+ members in GLP-1 Care Track (3x growth in 12 months) demonstrates that physical monitoring devices enable digital behavioral interventions at scale.

## Extending Evidence
**Source:** Omada Health Q1 2026 earnings (May 7, 2026)
Omada's employer-contracted model represents a distinct VBC payment structure: employers pay per enrolled member (capitation-like), creating direct financial incentive for outcome improvement without traditional fee-for-service intermediation. The 51% membership growth with 42% revenue growth suggests employers are expanding contracts based on demonstrated value, indicating that employer-direct VBC channels may bypass the traditional payer risk-bearing bottleneck.

## Content
**Membership and growth:**
- 466,000 members as of January 2026
- 121% year-over-year membership growth (consistent with KB's existing claim about 121% growth)
- Geographic expansion: 13 states (2024) → 20 states (2026)
- Further expansion planned for 2026 enrollment year
**Quality performance:**
- Contracts H1290, H5299, H7993: 5-star (maximum) CMS rating
- Contracts H7028, H9884: 4.5-star
- Contracts H2526, H2697, H4808, H7147, H7151: 4-star
- 95% of members enrolled in 4-star-or-better contracts for 2026
- Context: 2025 was noted as a "difficult year for star ratings" industry-wide
**Funding:**
- $48 million Series F (November 2025)
- $317 million Series F-Prime (January 2026)
- Total: $366 million
- Lead investors: The Space Between, Centricus
- New investors: GV (Google Ventures), VZ Ventures, Morgan Health (JPMorgan's health arm)
**Financial metrics (limited, private company):**
- Medical Loss Ratio: 86% in 2024 (last disclosed)
- No profit/loss data disclosed publicly
## Agent Notes
**Why this matters:** This confirms and extends the KB's existing Devoted Health claim about 121% growth. The 95% members in 4-star-or-better contracts is particularly significant — star ratings directly affect MA bonus payments from CMS, meaning Devoted's quality performance translates directly to financial performance through the VBC incentive structure.
**What surprised me:** Morgan Health (JPMorgan's health arm) investing is notable — large institutional capital from the employer-payer side entering the purpose-built payvidor model. This validates the model not just from health tech VCs but from the healthcare finance establishment.
**What I expected but didn't find:** Revenue/profitability data. Devoted remains private. The MLR of 86% (2024) is high for an MA plan (healthy MLRs are typically 82-88% for MA) — suggests Devoted is still reinvesting in care delivery, not yet optimizing for margin.
**KB connections:**
- [[Devoted is the fastest-growing MA plan at 121 percent growth because purpose-built technology outperforms acquisition-based vertical integration during CMS tightening]] — this source CONFIRMS and extends this claim with 2026 data
- [[four competing payer-provider models are converging toward value-based care with vertical integration dominant today but aligned partnership potentially more durable]] — Devoted is the purpose-built payvidor proof case
- [[CMS 2027 chart review exclusion targets vertical integration profit arbitrage by removing upcoded diagnoses from MA risk scoring]] — Devoted's star ratings (not upcoding) as the quality signal suggests alignment with CMS direction
**Extraction hints:**
- Update the existing Devoted claim with 2026 data: membership 466K (121% YoY sustained), geographic expansion to 20 states, 95% in 4+ star plans
- New claim candidate: "Morgan Health (JPMorgan) and GV entering Devoted's Series F-Prime signals institutional convergence on the purpose-built payvidor model — not just health tech VC validation"
- Confidence note: 121% growth rate in Series F context (no profit confirmed) could be growth-stage burn; need profitability data to confirm the "proving the model" thesis
**Context:** The existing KB claim says Devoted is "the fastest-growing MA plan at 121 percent growth" — this 2026 data shows that growth rate SUSTAINED into a second year (2025→2026 also 121%). This is not a single-year spike; it's a compounding growth trajectory.
## Curator Notes (structured handoff for extractor)
PRIMARY CONNECTION: [[Devoted is the fastest-growing MA plan at 121 percent growth because purpose-built technology outperforms acquisition-based vertical integration during CMS tightening]]
WHY ARCHIVED: Updates and confirms the existing Devoted claim with 2026 data. The sustained 121% growth and 95% star rating performance are the key new datapoints. The $366M raise and GV/Morgan Health participation expand the signal from health tech VC to institutional capital.
EXTRACTION HINT: Update the existing claim rather than writing a new one. Add the 2026 growth data, star rating performance, and investor profile to the existing claim. Note the MLR (86%) as the outstanding unknown — profitability confirmation is needed to fully validate the "proves the model" thesis.
