ABOUT US

Nice To Meet You

Our Story

Welcome to Start Health, where innovation meets simplicity in revolutionizing the world of healthcare. Our journey began with a vision to create a better alternative to traditional health insurance, and we proudly present a game-changing approach that transcends the complexities of conventional systems.

Traditional health insurance has its merits, but we recognized its limitations – the lack of flexibility in networks, the absence of encouragement for individuals to seek cost-effective care, and the breeding ground for soaring costs and surprise bills. Start Health was born out of the belief that there is a simpler, different, and better way to provide healthcare coverage.

At Start Health, we are not just an insurance provider; we are architects of a genius approach to excellent individual health coverage. Our unique, common-sense alternative is designed to offer low-cost healthcare without compromising on the quality of services. We have meticulously crafted a care reimbursement model that ensures unlimited access to care and unprecedented transparency.

What sets Start Health apart is our commitment to simplicity and clarity. We pay a fixed benefit amount for every service we offer, giving our members the freedom to choose their healthcare provider. Members pay upfront for their procedures and are then reimbursed for the fixed benefit amount, making healthcare coverage straightforward and hassle-free.

Imagine a world where hospital fees, surprise bills, and outrageous monthly premiums are a thing of the past. Start Health fills the gaps that existing healthcare alternatives may overlook – we are the unicorn of healthcare, combining the best practices in the industry to create a truly exceptional experience.

Join us in reshaping the landscape of healthcare coverage. Start Health is not just a name; it’s a commitment to a simpler, different, and better way of ensuring your well-being. Experience healthcare coverage the way it should be – Start Health, where innovation meets simplicity for a healthier future.

What We Stand For

 

Comprehensive

Start is a straightforward model, designed to help you navigate the healthcare world. We have our reimbursement rates for procedures so you know what price to look for when finding a doctor. We also have technology that allows you to get reimbursed once you send in your itemized receipt. Our goal is simplicity: you pay at the time of service and we reimburse you.

Affordable

You don’t often think “affordable” when thinking about healthcare. Our goal at Start is to change that. We have set reimbursement rates when visiting a doctor. Keeping those prices in mind should help you when searching for doctors and facilities. If you find a price that cost less than the reimbursement rate you can even make money for seeing the doctor once you’ve hit your deductible.

Simpler

Let’s face it, healthcare coverage can be very confusing and it’s hard to find the facts on how to simplify healthcare. At Start, our goal is to increase transparency in the healthcare world to the everyday person. We want to empower you as we bridge the divides that exist between you and the healthcare world. Let’s make healthcare simpler.

What is a Reimbursement Model

Start Health is a health coverage reimbursement model. This means you still pay a monthly premium, still have a deductible, and even have access to an HSA. The difference is that you pay cash and get reimbursed by us to bypass the claims process. This saves you money and the shock of the surprise bill that always seems to pop up months later.

Why We Use a Reimbursement Model

cash

Lowering Cost

Start is a self-pay plan with a reimbursement model. That means Start bypasses the claims process that makes you receive your bill months down the road and helps you pay upfront to receive a self-pay discount. We have reimbursement rates for all procedures, so you know what you should pay before you go! 

No Networks

Because Start allows you to self-pay at the time of service, you are able to skip out on networks. That means you get to see any doctor you want at any facility. Remember that all doctors and facilities charge different prices. Check the price before you go so you can know if the price is within Start’s reimbursement rates.

HSA Qualfied

With Start, you are still covered with a deductible and pay monthly premiums. With Start’s high-deductible plan, you are able to qualify for a Health Savings Account (HSA). That means you can put the money that you would have spent on your high monthly premiums into your HSA!
