Brandon Cruz and Clint Jones started GoHealth in 2001.
GoHealth started out selling all kinds of health insurance. In recent years, it has emphasized the sale of Medicare Advantage plans.
GoHealth first began doing business in Lindon City in 2018. EDCUtah announced at the time that the company would be bringing about 363 full-time customer support jobs to Utah, and making about $900,000 in capital investments in Utah.
GoHealth recently completed an initial public offering (IPO) of common stock. The IPO raised about $914 million.
The company reported a $23 million net loss for the second quarter on $127 million in revenue. It says it had $62 million in adjusted operating earnings.
