Patient Engagement Platform Luma Health Raises $130M

The patient engagement platform Luma Health has raised $130 million in a Series C, bringing the San Francisco company’s total funding to $160 million.

“The announcement follows 2x growth year over year since Luma Health’s founding in 2015 and nearly 900% three-year growth, garnering recognition as one of the Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Private Companies,” the company said in a news release on Tuesday (Nov. 23). “Luma Health is on track to connect nearly a quarter of all Americans to care in 2022 and scale internationally.”

Luma Health says the funding will let it develop its platform to meet the digital transformation needs of hospitals and health systems, and to continue its mission of bringing patients equitable access to care.

“In the tight-knit community of enterprise healthcare, word of Luma Health has gotten out,” said Adnan Iqbal, Luma Health’s co-founder and CEO. “With this investment, we will continue to meet the demands of leading healthcare delivery systems nationwide and deliver on our promise to our customers: helping transform the complexities of healthcare into convenient, seamless experiences for their patients.”

Luma Health’s platform is used by more than 550 health systems, hospitals, federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and clinic networks around the country. It integrates with more than 80 electronic health records and vendors throughout the healthcare IT stack, centralizing and automating patient scheduling and communications, according to the company.

“Luma Health is our platform to manage patient scheduling and communication at scale,” said Adam Weber, director of operations for Cook County Health. “Serving over five million patients throughout the Chicagoland area means we need a partner that can handle whatever we throw their way. Luma Health always delivers — whether that’s their deep scheduling integrating into Cerner, scalable vaccine operations, patient outreach or flexible messaging capabilities.”

This year has seen a number of health technology platforms land funding. For example, there’s MiResources, another San Francisco company, which raised $3 million in seed funding in August for its service, which provides an “accessible and user-friendly” platform for mental health care referrals.

Around the same time, two other platforms launched following seed rounds: Soda Health, which aims to help patients get reimbursed for items not traditionally covered by medical claims, and MinSalud, a platform personalized for Hispanic patients.
