NEW YORK, August 14, 2019 – Inc. Magazine today revealed that HealthCare.com is No. 583 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, and No. 1 in the insurance category for companies listed multiple times on the list. This is the fourth straight year the insuretech company has ranked in the top 5000, a rare achievement for a start-up only in its fourth year of eligibility for the prestigious honor.
HealthCare.com is a privately-owned search and comparison engine for health insurance and Medicare plans, connecting millions of consumers with a network of licensed insurance brokers and carriers. Since 2014 the company has helped over 3 million individuals shop for a health insurance plan, including a growing number of those over age 65. In February 2018, HealthCare.com completed the acquisition of Pivot Health (PivotHealth.com) a fast-growing insuretech company that develops, manages and markets proprietary specialty insurance and supplemental plans.
“In 2016 HealthCare.com was named to the list for the first time at position #388 and in 2017 the company shot up to #148 and #388 in 2018. We are honored to be listed as the number one company in the insurance category for four consecutive years in a row, a feat few organizations have accomplished. As one of the fastest-growing insuretech companies in the U.S., HealthCare.com is continuing to evolve and change the way consumers shop, compare and purchase health insurance plans through multiple channels,” said Jeff Smedsrud, co-founder of HealthCare.com. “We’ve helped more than 3 million individuals get access to health plans and take action to get covered in just minutes.
