Start Health
The Whole Story
healthcare done simpler. different. better.
Our Mission
We aim to provide users with the tools they need to succeed in healthcare. We believe those tools are a simple approach to health benefits, a platform to search and shop for the best care at the best price, and a Health Savings Account (HSA). These ingredients create the secret sauce to changing healthcare.
How We Started
We understand that healthcare is overly complex and very over priced. We started Start (pun intended) because we understand that there is a better way to do healthcare. Join us on our journey to change the world. Find out more about how it works.
Meet Our Team
The Start team is made up of a variety of people with a common goal: to lower the price of healthcare. We have created the first reimbursement healthcare coverage that also offers a Health Savings Account. Take our 3-minute challenge to see how much we can help you save today!
What We Stand For
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.
Better
Most healthcare coverage binds you to a network where you don’t get healthcare options that you might want. At Start we have no networks, allowing you to see any doctor you choose. Not only do we allow you flexibility, but we also give you the information you need to shop around and find the best care at the best price. If you’re a member looking for care, visit your portal or call us at (800) 894-9454 to get assistance on your search for great care.
Different
Not only are we revolutionizing healthcare by providing a reimbursement model for healthcare coverage, but we are combining it with the ability to have an HSA. Health Savings Accounts have a triple-tax advantage and are a great way to save for the future.
Our Mission
Our mission is to lower the cost of healthcare and educate our members along the way.

What We Offer
EXCELLENT COVERAGE
Our unique reimbursement model makes it super easy to know the cost of care, allowing you complete control over your medical coverage and out-of-pocket costs.
PORTABLE BENEFITS
We offer a health-in-your-hands approach to healthcare that lets you carry your benefits through exciting job changes, family additions, and new adventures.
HSA QUALIFIED
HSAs: The rainy-day savings accounts with benefits. We made sure our Start plan is HSA-qualified to help you save for future medical costs (with a triple-tax advantage).
NO NETWORKS
No more crossing your fingers that your doctor is still in-network when switching health coverage. With Start, every doctor is on the table–we just hope you’re not on their table.
UPLOAD & DONE EXPENSES
It’s as easy as it sounds. Receive care, upload your receipt, and voila–we do the rest. You can even watch our progress as we review your expense and reimburse you. Cool, right?
QUICK REIMBURSEMENTS
Fast-moving health coverage: Say goodbye to those surprise medical bills you receive months down the road and get reimbursed once you reach your deductible.
