Stride Health, the leader in portable benefits technology, is heading into the 2024 Open Enrollment period with a new personalized plan selection experience for consumers, major upgrades to its app, which helps self-employed individuals save money on taxes & benefits, and several new partnerships. These new product enhancements and partnerships are key to helping independent workers in all 50 states better navigate their health insurance options during this critical time of year. 

“We’re excited to kick off Open Enrollment this year with an overhauled enrollment experience designed to give our members faster personalized guidance, and to welcome a slew of new partners using Stride to help get more Americans covered for 2024,” said Noah Lang, Co-founder and CEO of Stride Health. “Stride was founded on the principle that everyone, no matter what type of work they do, should have easy access to affordable healthcare coverage. We’re thrilled to be expanding our audience and helping more self-employed workers nationwide find the best health coverage seamlessly and at the lowest possible price.”

New Enrollment Experience Simplifies Process of Picking a Plan

According to a recent Stride survey, 43% of people who are responsible for getting insurance for themselves said they find the process complicated and they don't know where to start.Stride’s updated plan selection experience was tested in-market for the last year and provides transparency and simplicity to the process, leading to an increase in the number of individuals getting covered. 

The experience provides an easy path to both accessing health coverage for the first time and to individuals who need to re-evaluate their current coverage, since every year existing plans change, alongside premiums and covered benefits or prescriptions. With Stride’s new experience, individuals can compare plans, view pricing for prescription drugs and co-pay costs, and live chat with Stride advisors all in one place—for free. It is also faster and easier than ever to get enrolled and save money with ACA tax credits. The company has now saved its members over $1 billion on monthly healthcare premiums.
