New York-based Healthee, a healthcare benefits and navigation platform, has formed a strategic partnership with The Health Benefits Alliance to integrate its platform into HBA's portfolio of offerings.
Healthee offers an AI platform that answers employees' questions regarding benefits, coverage and treatment. It also provides open enrollment support and preventative care recommendations.
The Health Benefits Alliance offers healthcare plans for employers and employees that include 24/7 access to a primary care doctor or behavioral health therapist via web, phone or app.
Through the partnership, Healthee's offerings, including its virtual AI assistant "Zoe," will be integrated into The Health Benefits Alliance's portfolio of self-funded, level-funded and traditional benefits programs.
The companies said that members will gain access to telehealth and mental health services within a single interface and be able to view their coverage, plan comparisons, estimate provider costs and locate in-network care.
"[The Health Benefits Alliance's] mission is to make meaningful, cost-effective health benefits simpler and more accessible for employers and their employees," Matt Esposito, president of The Health Benefits Alliance, said in a statement.
"By partnering with Healthee, we’re introducing smarter, more intuitive navigation tools that bring clarity, convenience and confidence to every member experience."
THE LARGER TREND
In April, Healthee secured an oversubscribed $50 million Series B funding raise led by Key1 Capital, just one year after raising $32 million in a Series A funding round.
The company, launched in 2021 as Insurights, raised $22 million in seed funding. It was rebranded to Healthee in 2022.
In 2023, Healthee announced a collaboration with human resources company TriNet to give its customers access to Healthee's benefits navigation platform.
