Our take

Although shopping around for a car or mortgage is standard practice, when it comes to medical procedures, people often take what they are given. HealthJoy is a company that helps employees shop around for the most cost-effective healthcare options, then rewards these employees when they take the lower-cost option.

The HealthJoy benefits experience platform combines a chatbot with artificial intelligence along with human input to settle on the most affordable available treatment for the employee. Savings are then shared with the employee via a savings account or gift card. HealthJoy focuses on providing its services to larger companies, with tens of thousands of users, but has expressed intentions to work with small and medium-sized businesses in the future.

The company is aiming to invest its latest funds in accelerating growth, as it expands partnerships whilst maintaining optimal user experience in healthcare navigation. It has recently partnered with Consociate Health, as well as expanded its partnership with Teladoc Health to launch "HealthJoy Virtual Primary Care".
