Vive Benefits and SimplePay Health Have Partnered to Offer an Innovative, Easy-to-Use High Deductible Health Plan Design to Address Rising Healthcare Costs

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Employers have a new choice in high deductible health plans launching September 1, 2020—just in time for the January 1, 2021 plan year.

Vive Benefits and SimplePay, two companies dedicated to making health benefits simple, affordable and transparent, have collaborated to develop an HDHP plan design that supplies transparency for its members and prospects. CEO and Founder of Vive Benefits, Jason Pyle, M.D., believes the collaboration with SimplePay is perfectly aligned with their mission to universalize financial security to all by empowering patients to pay medical bills.

“When we started Vive, we wanted to solve the problem of medical debt. We knew the impact rising medical costs were having on people across the country, and we set out to help bring financial relief,” Pyle said. “With SimplePay, we can include our payment solution with their new HDHP design and help employers cut healthcare costs without exposing employees to financial risks.”

SimplePay Health, a simplified insurance design that makes it easier for patients to find the highest quality healthcare provider across the country, reimagines health insurance and provides employers lower cost, top-quality alternatives to most fully insured plans. With Vive’s added financial solution, SimplePay’s new benefit brings employers the luxury to explore options around their consumer-driven healthcare journey.

“We are excited to bring a new solution for rising healthcare costs to employers,” said Scott Schoenvogel, president of SimplePay Health. “Our new high deductible plan design, in combination with Vive’s innovative payment solution, could not be of a better value to employers looking for quality, affordable benefits. We share with Vive a commitment to creating significant savings and bringing peace of mind to employers and employees.”

The SimplePay HDHP with Vive’s payment solution will launch September 1, 2020. For more information on Vive Benefits, visit www.vivebenefits.com or call 650-796-7616.
