MIAMI & NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today Inc. Magazine awarded HealthCare.com with the distinction of being named #351 to its 2018 Inc. 500 Fastest Growing Private Companies in the U.S. list and #4 in the Insurance category. This is the third straight year the company has ranked in the top 500, a rare achievement for a start-up only in its third year of eligibility for the prestigious honor. Only one in four companies make the Inc. 500 three years in a row.

In 2016 HealthCare.com was named to the list for the first time at position #388. In 2017 the company shot up to #148. This is also the third consecutive year that HealthCare.com has ranked in both the Inc. 5000 and Inc. 500. In addition, HealthCare.com is ranked a top 100 technology company by Deloitte.

HealthCare.com is a privately-owned search and comparison health insurance shopping engine that connects consumers with its network of licensed insurance brokers and insurance carriers. Since 2014 the company has helped more than 3 million individuals shop and find a health insurance plan.

In February 2018, HealthCare.com completed the acquisition of Pivot Health (PivotHealth.com) a fast-growing insurtech product development, management and marketing company of short term health insurance, supplemental insurance and fixed indemnity health plans.

“2017 was an important year for HealthCare.com as we continued to grow our core health insurance business, expanded our Medicare business, and added some key new pieces to our team. The past year positioned us well for the acquisition of Pivot Health in early 2018 as part of a broader transition from a pure comparison business. We’re proud to be recognized for the substantial growth in our business, and excited for the continued value we are providing to consumers,” said Howard Yeh, co-founder and chief executive officer of HealthCare.com.

“HealthCare.com’s rapid growth indicates that consumers remain proactive in researching and buying affordable healthcare options,” Yeh concluded.
