Overview
Zest Health provides a platform that helps businesses and their employees get more from their health benefits. It combines a complete suite of health and related benefits with personalized guidance and live concierge support, and it integrates with existing health plans. The product uses intuitive technology and data science to help employees understand, access, and use their benefits efficiently while saving time and money for the employer. The service pairs software with human assistance to optimize benefits usage and reduce the stress of navigating health plans. Zest Health differentiates itself by offering end-to-end benefits management with personalized, data-driven recommendations and dedicated support, rather than a generic benefits portal. Its goal is to improve how healthcare benefits are used across a workforce, making benefits easier to understand, access, and optimize, ultimately lowering costs and increasing employee satisfaction.
