The company claims to have over 1 million open appointments on its service. ZocDoc hopes to add to that number and plans on using the additional funding to expand its network of doctors nationally. The service is even running a contest where patients in US cities can vote to become the next ZocDoc market.
The new round brings the company’s fund raising total to about $19 million. With healthcare legislation giving 30 million new people access to healthcare, the company and its investors believe there is a significant opportunity in making it easier to schedule a doctor’s appointment.
