Today, we’re thrilled to announce that we’re expanding our portable benefits suite with a first-of-its-kind innovation, Stride Save, to help independent workers set aside money for savings and essential benefits.

Now that the pandemic-era rules requiring continuous Medicaid coverage are ending, as many as 15 million Americans are at risk of losing access to health care coverage as states begin eligibility redeterminations. 

With unnecessary work meetings abound, Stride has a solution. See why Stride was featured in the Wall Street Journal for our alternative to excessive meetings.

Providing benefits like health insurance through employers no longer makes sense when nearly half of working Americans have multiple jobs — rather than a single, full-time job — and a growing number are doing part-time work, gig work, or freelancing.

According to a new Stride survey, affordability is the biggest barrier in getting independent workers to enroll in health coverage. Here's what else to know.

Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements (ICHRAs) for all types of workers. Read what our CEO & Co-Founder Noah Lang has to say about this solution:

With inflation driving record-high prices on other necessities like gas and groceries, the Schumer-Manchin Deal will help us contain rising healthcare costs for essential workers, entrepreneurs & small businesses. Our CEO and Co-Founder Noah Lang shares his perspective on how.

We’re thrilled to announce that Stride Health has raised a $47 million Series C from Mastercard, Allstate and King River to power our next phase of growth and build a new benefits system for individuals.
