The startup firmly believes that its model will enable employers, employees and their families to ease their purchase of health insurances and be appropriately covered with a one stop shopping solution. This is made possible thanks to a simplified onboarding process and a flexible way to personalize each SME’s insurance plan. “We want to reconnect the dots between the coverage offered by the employer with a potential insurance top-up by the employees.”
