Medicare navigation platform Connie Health received $ 13 million in Series A funding last week. The news came when the Boston-based startup announced it was expanding into Texas, making it the second state Connie Health operates in. Khosla Ventures and Pittango Healthtech led this Series A round.
This new infusion of cash brings the company’s total funding to $ 16 million.
The platform is designed to help Medicare members determine which health plan is best for them, which doctors to choose, and what are the benefits. According to the press release, the technology uses artificial intelligence and a local Medicare source that can help users answer questions.
“Unlike employer-based plans, where people have a handful of options, the typical Medicare consumer has hundreds of plans to choose from. Medicare plans are local and options vary by county. Therefore, it is important to work with agents who are familiar with local plans and hospital networks.
“Our solution extends that human knowledge with an AI-powered recommendation engine that categorizes the hundreds of options available in each locale based on a person’s unique needs,” said Oded Eran, co-founder and CEO of Connie Health, in one Explanation.
“The additional funding will allow us to scale this breakthrough approach nationally and continue to help people get the most out of Medicare.”
