| We are reinventing the claims process in private health insurance (PHI). Existing claims processes suffer from significant friction in the user journey and a lack of cost control for insurers. We eliminate the friction in this process while putting effective cost controls in place. Our solution is to provide insurers with co-branded debit cardsdistributed to their members. Each member can use their card at any health-related facility in the world - eliminating out-of-pocket expenses entirely. Think of corporate spend management providers like Payhawk, only for international and domestic private health insurers. So, the advantages are obvious: we help insurers to provide a 10x better user experience and to achieve substantial cost savings by providing structured data, offering real-time visibility on claims costs, minimizing fraudulent claims, and implementing a reward/cashback program to steer user behavior. | $6.6M / Jan 11, 2023 | ||
