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 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.
As healthcare costs continue to rise, HealthJoy is ready for continued success by helping employers manage expenses and improve employee care. With a strong track record and strategic partnerships, the company is set to deliver lasting value as demand for affordable, high-quality care grows.
