Humana Accelerates Commitment to Helping Seniors Choose Right Health Plan, Announces Minority Investment in Healthpilot

  • Investment in Healthpilot supports Humana’s efforts to develop a more efficient, transparent, and consumer-centric healthcare ecosystem by leveraging cutting-edge technology.
  • Healthpilot’s AI-driven Medicare plan platform will remain payor-agnostic, providing highly personalized recommendations for Medicare beneficiaries to enroll in the right health plan.

Leading health and well-being company Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM), through its payor-agnostic insurance brokerage business, today announced a minority investment in Healthpilot, a company pioneering the development of a personalized and simpler digital enrollment experience for seniors exploring their Medicare options. The financial investment by Humana supports both companies’ visions to create a more efficient, transparent, and consumer-centric healthcare ecosystem. Following Humana’s minority investment, Healthpilot will remain payor-agnostic, providing consumer-specific recommendations for beneficiaries to enroll in the right health plan for their specific healthcare profile. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Healthpilot’s proprietary AI-powered model was developed based on the academic research of Healthpilot co-founder Dr. Jonathan Kolstad, PhD and features an online enrollment platform that provides Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement and prescription drug plan (PDP) recommendations based on beneficiaries’ unique healthcare situations. Using a digitally native platform, it leverages enrollee information such as their personal health profile, choices for physicians, prescription drug utilization and cost preferences, and then matches prospective enrollees with the optimal choices available for their Medicare plan needs. Most applications are submitted without a consumer requiring assistance from a Healthpilot customer support representative.

“This investment in Healthpilot represents a strategic step forward in Humana’s digital growth journey and underscores our commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to further enhance payor-agnostic, omnichannel broker capabilities,” said David Dintenfass, President of Enterprise Growth at Humana. “Healthpilot’s platform provides a more personalized and simpler digital enrollment experience for seniors, and we are excited to improve the education, shopping and enrollment experiences for customers that purchase Medicare products from Healthpilot. By leveraging Healthpilot’s advanced analytics and AI, beneficiaries can be paired with plans that best meet their needs, thereby enhancing their overall healthcare experience.”

“Healthpilot is seeking to redefine the Medicare plan shopping experience with a customer-centric approach that leverages leading, AI-powered technology and an elegant user-interface,” said Seth Teich, CEO of Healthpilot. “We are pleased to have the opportunity to collaborate more closely with Humana. Their financial investment will fuel our ambitious goals of improving our customer product experience, growing our brand online, accelerating data analytics, and enhancing our AI capabilities. These advancements will allow us to better serve the millions of seniors in need of a simplified digital shopping experience.”
