ACA marketplace enrollment is projected to fall from 22.3 million Americans to 17.5 million this year as healthcare costs continue to rise. For many families, traditional coverage is becoming harder to justify, but going uninsured shouldn’t feel like the only option.

At , we believe there’s a better path forward. Our cash-forward approach is designed for healthy individuals and families who want extensive coverage, lower monthly costs, and more control over how they spend on healthcare. And because our plans are designed to be HSA-eligible, members can also save tax-advantaged dollars for future healthcare needs instead of losing those dollars to rising premiums month after month.

Many families face nearly $30K per year in healthcare cost exposure before they even meaningfully use their benefits.

For many healthy individuals and families, healthcare has become less about paying for care and more about paying for what-if costs.

Most people don't realize their health plan makes services more expensive.

For example, the insurance-adjusted rate for this emergency appendectomy was 835% higher than the negotiated cash rate!

Traditional insurance might have covered this expense initially, but it likely would have led to surprise bills and premium hikes later.

This Start Health member was empowered to take control of their costs, reduce their bill by $86k, and still have 90% of their final bill covered.

Are you overpaying for care?
