ZipDoctor's online telemedicine platform will be available to customers across the United States and shall offer English and Spanish coverage with virtual visits taking place either via the phone or through a secured video chat platform. ZipDoctor customers will be able to subscribe through their website at www.ZipDoctor.com and are only required to pay a monthly fee, which is determined based on whether they are an individual, a couple, or a family.

Greg Siokas, Chief Executive Officer of Cosmos Health stated: "We are delighted to announce the successful completion of our acquisition of ZipDoctor. The telehealth industry is poised for significant growth, and we are confident that with the right investment and support from Cosmos Health, ZipDoctor can emerge as a major player in this field. Our immediate focus will be to expand ZipDoctor's presence in the United States by leveraging its existing platform and forging new partnerships. Additionally, we will consider the possibility of broadening ZipDoctor's current primary care and mental health services by offering consultations related to men's and women's health, weight loss, and other similar treatments, while also exploring opportunities to promote our own products through the platform. Moreover, we are open to exploring additional tech investments, innovations, and acquisitions to broaden our portfolio of brands, and will also consider opportunities for international expansion when appropriate. We would also like to thank Jacob Cohen, Director of AMIH, for his cooperation in the successful completion of this transaction."

According to Nova One Advisor, the U.S. Telehealth market size was valued at $23.8 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow to $309.9 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 45.1% from 2022 to 2030. The shortage of healthcare specialists and primary care physicians in the U.S. is one of the major factors expected to accelerate the market growth in the U.S. according to the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) estimation, there is an estimated shortage of both primary and specialty care physicians between 37,800 and 124,000 physicians by 2034. In 2021, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services expanded reimbursable telehealth codes for the 2021 physician fee schedule.
