GoHealth Successfully Completes Financial Restructuring and Emerges Well Positioned for Future Success
CHICAGO, July 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GoHealth ("GoHealth" or the "Company") today announced that it successfully completed its financial restructuring and emerged from Chapter 11 pursuant to its prepackaged plan of reorganization, confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on July 21, 2026.
GoHealth emerges from its financial restructuring poised to maintain its position as a leading health insurance marketplace and Medicare-focused digital health company. With the support of new ownership, GoHealth is well positioned for future success and will continue serving its Medicare consumers and partners.
Chief Executive Officer Vijay Kotte said, "We are pleased to have successfully completed our expedited restructuring process, marking the beginning of a new chapter for GoHealth as a financially stronger company. With an improved capital structure, we’ll have additional flexibility to build on our market-leading position and continue delivering for our Medicare consumers and partners. We are grateful to our new owners for their support and confidence in our business and future prospects."
As previously disclosed, the restructuring transitions ownership of the Company to certain of its lenders, reinstates the preferred equity of GoHealth, provides for payment in full of trade payables and other ordinary course obligations, and provides a cash payment to holders of GoHealth’s equity, allowing the Company to protect critical relationships with customers and health insurance carriers for its go-forward business. In connection with emergence, GoHealth will operate as a private company.
