Company Description

Come for the mission. Stay for the experience.

Let’s keep things simple: we are an unbelievably talented, hard-working, and compassionate team driving towards a mission that impacts every single one of us - even you! Healthcare benefits are complex, underutilized, and a mystery for most users. We’re removing that complexity.

Our industry-leading technology solution puts a simplified benefits experience in the hands of users, saving them time and money. Since the start of the pandemic, we’ve created a COVID-19 resource center, helped members find testing and care, and made it even simpler to get telemedicine and mental health support to employees.

HealthJoy has experienced explosive growth over the last few years: we've raised over $50M in funding, earned awards for Talent Culture’s Best HR Technology, Forbes 2021 Best Startup Employers and Built In Chicago’s Best Places to Work for the past three years. This year, we plan to continue down a path of high growth and high impact.
