Paytient

Building toward a healthier future for everyone. After a decade working in hospital administration, founder Brian Whorley saw the same story play out again and again: patients with insurance who couldn't afford to use it. So in 2018, Brian and co-founder Daniel Lynn created Paytient — a healthcare benefit that ensures people can actually get the care they need when they need it, without financial harm. Here's the problem we solve: 40% of people (inclusive of all income levels) with employer-sponsored health insurance are avoiding care right now because they can't afford the out-of-pocket cost. Their employer sees it too late – higher claims data, sick days, turnover, and far more expensive health crises that could have been prevented. Not for people who use Paytient - 80% of members tell us they got care they otherwise would have avoided or skipped without the app. They get the healthcare they need and everyone saves money as a result. Paytient is a simple fix. A payment app and affordability solution that works at any provider — medical, dental, vision, pharmacy, even vet — with 0% interest, $0 fees, and repayment on the employee's terms up to 12-months. Paytient makes it easier for people to pay for, save on and experience healthcare. When it's easier to pay for care, people get the care they need. And health plans finally work the way they're supposed to. Today, we cover over 20 million employees and their families through employer, payer, and health system partnerships including Anthem, Centene, Cigna, Hyatt Hotels, Fifth Third Bank and Panera Bread among thousands of others. There is a better way. We're building it.
