HealthJoy is a first-of-its-kind platform on a mission to simplify the benefits experience for employees everywhere. With a mobile platform built around personalized guidance and AI technology, HealthJoy empowers employees to better use and understand their benefits.
It’s no secret that our healthcare and benefits systems are broken. At HealthJoy, we’re striving to solve a problem we interact with every single day.
The HealthJoy story begins in 2014. Coming off a ski injury, our co-founder Justin Holland needed an affordable MRI service that wouldn’t break the bank, despite his high-deductible insurance plan. Justin couldn’t believe how difficult his search turned out to be. Along with high school friend Doug Morse-Schindler, he founded HealthJoy to begin building a better healthcare experience.
HealthJoy was born in Chicago’s River North neighborhood. The “office” was on the floor next to the kitchen, and our co-founders lived above. The earliest versions of HealthJoy were designed to guide individuals through selecting, using, and making the most of Affordable Care Act insurance plans.
Using a combination of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data mining, we served 60,000 members with hundreds of different individual ACA insurance plans in all 50 states in 2015.
By 2016, our innovative solution caught the eye of the corporate sector as companies began to see the value in simplifying the employee benefits experience. It was clear that pivoting to the employer healthcare space would allow HealthJoy to bring bigger change to the benefits experience while continuing to scale. We launched HealthJoy for groups in 2017 and haven’t looked back.
Since that time, we’ve used personalized guidance and AI tech to change the way employees experience their benefits.
