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 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.

Common Questions
WHAT IS A "REIMBURSEMENT MODEL"?
Like any health plan, you will pay a monthly premium for coverage. However, unlike other health plans, when you go to the provider you will pay up front with your Start Benefit Card (or other form of payment). By “self-paying,” or “paying cash” for eligible services up front you are generally given a significantly discounted cash-rate. All qualified services payments you make will apply to your deductible, and then, once your deductible has been met, you will be reimbursed the set rate when you submit an itemized receipt for the service.
HOW DO I SELF-PAY AT THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE?
Providers often offer a lower rate for services when they are not billed through insurance. This greatly reduces their administrative costs and efforts. So, when visiting the doctor’s office, simply state you are self-paying, or ‘paying cash’ and use your Start Benefit Card to pay for the service. Ask them their cash-price for the services. Don’t forget to ask for an itemized receipt!
WHEN CAN I ENROLL IN START?
Enroll anytime, and coverage will go into effect on the 1st of the month.
