Overview
ParetoHealth helps small and mid-sized employers control health benefit costs using a self-insured captive model. Member companies pool funds to cover employees’ health claims instead of paying traditional premiums, sharing risk within a group. A data-driven cost management system monitors plan use and guides care toward high-quality, cost-efficient options. Revenue comes from membership fees and consulting services, and the goal is to provide affordable, sustainable, high-quality benefits for SMEs while advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion.
