GoHealth Inc (NASDAQ: GOCO) is a health insurance distribution company that connects consumers with Medicare Advantage and other health insurance plans through licensed agents and a proprietary technology platform. It earns revenue primarily through commissions paid by health plan partners, recognized as the constrained lifetime value of each policy, covering both initial and expected renewal commissions. The company operates as a single reportable segment and competes with government-run exchanges, local independent agents, television-advertised insurance marketers, and direct sales channels operated by health plan partners themselves. GoHealth was co-founded by Clinton Jones and Brandon Cruz and is led by CEO Vijay Kotte. Net revenues fell to $361.8 million in FY2025 from $798.9 million in FY2024, driven by management's deliberate pullback of Medicare Advantage enrollment activity. Submissions dropped to 534,657 in FY2025 from 1,016,182 in FY2024, with Sales per Submission declining to $668 from $781. Commission revenue was approximately $273 million in FY2025, with commissions receivable of approximately $925 million as of December 31, 2025. The company carries significant interest expense ($87.3 million in FY2025) and recorded a net loss of $497.8 million in FY2025.
