Ennoble Care expanded its home-based primary care operations into five states in September, bringing its footprint to 16 states. CEO Kush Das says the company plans to enter about 10 more states over the next year, while pursuing new payment models and working through state-by-state payer credentialing.
Ennoble Care expanded its home-based primary care footprint into Florida, Kentucky, Ohio, Mississippi and Texas in September, bringing its operations to 16 states. CEO Kush Das told Home Health Care News the company expects to enter about 10 more states over the next year, as it seeks to serve older adults who have limited access to primary care at home.
The Hackensack, New Jersey-based company said the expansion reflects a mix of geographic growth, demand and acquisition opportunities. Das told Home Health Care News that the company has prioritized markets with large or growing older populations and areas he described as primary care deserts. Texas and Florida, he said, had been on Ennoble’s expansion list for a long time because of their growing senior populations and gaps in care for people who are becoming frailer.
Not every new market followed a neighboring-state strategy. Ennoble has an existing presence in Georgia, which Das said made expansion into Alabama more straightforward. The company entered Mississippi through an acquisition of a local practice that needed back-office support. Das said the practice has since joined Ennoble’s platform and is performing well.
Expansion also brings administrative work. Das said payer network participation and clinician credentialing are often the slowest parts of entering a state. He said some insurers do not distinguish home-based from office-based primary care when assessing network adequacy, which can make it harder for providers to secure coverage for in-home services. Ennoble has not announced the names of the acquired Mississippi practice or the specific markets it plans to enter next.
Reaching Patients in Care Deserts
The expansion could make in-home primary care available to more older adults in states where access to office-based care may be difficult, particularly for people with frailty or mobility challenges. The company’s stated goal is to bring routine and ongoing care into patients’ homes, rather than relying on clinic visits alone. The effect will depend on whether Ennoble can build local capacity and join health plan networks in each market.
Das said Ennoble estimates that 7 million Americans need home-based primary care, while only one in seven receive it. Those figures are his estimates, as reported by Home Health Care News; the article does not provide an independent methodology for them. The gap helps explain why the company sees room to grow, but it does not establish how many additional patients the five-state expansion will reach.
Das also reported that Ennoble sees hospitalizations fall by more than 50% among patients in its care for over two years. That is a company-reported outcome, not an independently verified finding in the source report. He credited home health agencies with helping prevent readmissions in the period after a hospital stay and said Ennoble wants to connect that shorter-term support with longer-term care relationships.

Growth Beyond Five New States
Ennoble currently serves about 50,000 patients, according to Das, and operates in 16 states after the September additions. The company says it does not plan to expand its service lines as part of this growth push. Instead, it is considering changes to how care is financed and coordinated, alongside geographic expansion.
Das said Ennoble intends to start a Medicare Advantage plan with a chronic special needs plan in a few of its markets. He described it as a tailored, niche benefit for patients the company serves, rather than an effort to compete with large insurers. The source report does not specify launch dates, participating markets, enrollment plans or the benefits the proposed plan would cover.
The company also participates in the ACO REACH model. Das said Ennoble plans to move to the Medicare Shared Savings Program and the Long-term Enhanced ACO Design model, depending on geography, after ACO REACH sunsets at the end of 2026. He said the company plans to enter two models next year on a state-by-state basis.
“Our goal was to go contiguous growth from east to west and slightly down to the south, and especially prioritizing markets where there’s just a ton of seniors that just need the help in the home, which is what we can uniquely provide.”

Markets and Plan Details Pending
Ennoble has not named the roughly 10 states it hopes to enter over the next year, nor has it given a schedule for those additions. The company has also not said how many new patients it expects to serve as a result of the September expansion or how quickly operations will begin in each state.
The proposed Medicare Advantage and chronic special needs offering remains short on public details in the source report, including its launch timing, markets, eligibility criteria and benefit design. It is also unclear which two ACO models Ennoble will join in each geography after ACO REACH ends. Das’s comments on hospitalization reductions and unmet need are company estimates and reported outcomes; the source does not provide independent verification or supporting methodology.

Next Steps in State Expansion
Ennoble says it plans to expand into about 10 additional states over the next year. Das said growth is likely to combine entry into states adjacent to existing markets with acquisitions of house-call practices that need operational support. The company will also need to establish payer relationships and complete credentialing in each new location, a process he described as a major constraint.
Further developments to watch include which states Ennoble selects, whether the planned Medicare Advantage offering proceeds in the markets under consideration, and how the company shifts from ACO REACH to other Medicare models after the program sunsets at the end of 2026. The company has not announced dates or specific markets for those steps.
