Helm Health is a SaaS platform that partners with TPAs and health insurers/carriers to power “Dynamic Copay” health-plan products. The platform uses upfront, guaranteed prices, granular cost and quality data, smart claim bundling, and an intuitive provider search to drive member engagement, enable value-driven benefit design, and reduce plan costs (the company reports 74% of care is shopped through the platform and ~15% plan savings). Helm enables moving beyond traditional deductible-centric plans by creating simple, guaranteed prices for members while preserving provider fee-for-service reimbursement.
