Our take

Health insurance benefits are essential for employers to remain competitive in today's landscape, but it can be difficult for small businesses to offer high-quality benefits at a reasonable rate. All-in-one benefit plans are offered to small businesses, but this often results in companies paying huge fees for services that they don't necessarily require.

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 it is able to "weather downturns" and that "re-orienting" now will ensure it can deliver on its mission well into the future.

Company values

  • Build the Future - Healthcare is broken. The only way we’re going to do anything better than the status quo is to throw away the status quo. We don’t follow the way things have been done. We build what should be done
  • Empower Others - This is an environment of teamwork. We support each other in order to succeed. We support our members and give them the information they need to make good decisions
  • Be Clear - We communicate clearly with each other, our members, and our vendors. We are upfront and authentic. We simplify complex statements and ideas so everyone can understand
  • Align Incentives - As a company, we align the incentives and goals of our customers, members, partners, and providers. If we always look for a win-win, we naturally lose the negative incentive to do the wrong thing. We’ll always end up in a better place
