History

SelectQuote was founded in 1985. ^[3] In May 2021, the company announced its foray into healthcare services via a new company named Population Health. The company aimed to capture the approximately $125bn in unnecessary healthcare costs by helping prevent the approximately 1.5mm preventable medication-related adverse effects. ^[4]

In 2025, the United States Department of Justice filed a lawsuit alleging that SelectQuote, along with other insurance brokers and insurance companies, participated in a kick-back scheme that violated the False Claims Act and potentially defrauded Medicare. ^{[5] [6] [7]}
