Our take
Health insurance benefits are essential for employers to remain competitive. But it can be difficult for small businesses to offer high-quality benefits at a reasonable rate, and without paying for things they don't need. Sana Benefits provides self-financed health insurance benefit plans which allow small businesses to pick and choose the services that they offer.
The company aims to provide options that are more affordable to small businesses than the insurance giants of the US. For example, Sana touts partnerships with Meditech startups such as Beam for dental coverage and Calm for mental wellness, and has intelligently partnered with small medical businesses and insurance startups.
Following investment from some top names in insurtech, the company has pursued expansion into new states and is set to be an industry leader. The economic situation caused a round of layoffs early in 2023, but Sana Benefits has remained positive - stating that by "re-orienting", it will be able to deliver on its mission well into the future.
