Private equity firm Centerbridge  has made a significant investment in GoHealth, giving the online health insurance marketplace a major new financial backer at a time when the insurance industry is bracing for change.

Reuters reported on Sunday that Centerbridge was nearing a deal to acquire a majority stake in the business that will value it at around $1.5 billion, according to sources.

GoHealth and Centerbridge declined to comment on the exact stake size or valuation.
