In this Health Moonshot Update, StartUp Health community member Justin Ayars explains how his company EqualityMD resolves up to 80% of employees’ diverse health needs before insurance is ever triggered, helping employers save 20-30% in health claim and administrative costs while reducing employees’ out-of-pocket expenses by 40-70% percent.
By operating outside the insurance-based system, EqualityMD delivers culturally competent virtual care, mental health support, urgent care, and prescription access without generating insurance claims. The result is a claim-prevention layer that complements existing health plans or, for smaller employers, functions as a primary healthcare benefit.
As healthcare costs rise and care avoidance grows, EqualityMD offers a new path forward for small and mid-sized businesses seeking affordable, inclusive solutions. By combining prevention-focused care with an AI-powered data strategy that helps close critical healthcare gaps, the company aims to reshape how Americans experience and think about healthcare by offering a more affordable, inclusive path forward.
