Our Story
My dad was a health insurance agent from when the U.S. health insurance industry was born in the 1950s, and I have spent my entire life in the health care business as an observer, consumer and advocate of insurance products. I know what works, what doesn’t, and what we need to do to make purchasing health insurance a more enjoyable shopping experience. I am passionate about this mission because the system isn’t quite perfect yet, and I believe consumers deserve the freedom to educate themselves and pick a health insurance solution that is right for them.
I founded Pivot Health in 2016, and it became part of HealthCare.com in 2018 to bring together our health insurance product expertise with a digitally-native approach towards providing coverage to individual consumers.
We are fortunate to have massive amounts of data about health insurance buying practices. So we’re committed to using data and top-end digital technology to design and distribute health insurance coverage solutions in a personal, meaningful way. Because at the end of the day, an insurance purchase is about your story, your needs, your life. We just want to help get you there easily and with confidence.
Let Pivot Health show you how
health insurance can be done.
