Our take
Companies use Flume to design and launch fully configured, modern health plans in months, rather than using third-party administrators (TPAs), which have until now been the only real solution.
Flume maintains that TPAs, which are still largely tech-averse, are causing a bottleneck in a fragmented healthcare ecosystem, which is in turn slowing the delivery of personalized health plans.
Having initially started as an administrator itself to help companies self-insure their employees with more affordable and more transparent health plans, 2021 saw Flume release Flume OS, which essentially works as a launch pad for challenger health plan providers.
Flume OS has proven to be a hit, garnering $40 million in funding in 4 years. It’s been used by fast-growth startups Firefly Health and Hue Health, and has also seen the company attract tens of millions in funding as it looks to scale up.
