Gravie provides health benefits by offering straightforward and affordable health plans, primarily targeting individuals and small to midsize businesses. Their main product, Comfort, stands out because it has no deductible and no copays for most common healthcare services, allowing members to access care without unexpected costs. Additionally, Comfort includes virtual care options for musculoskeletal and mental health issues. Gravie also offers a payment solution called Gravie Pay, which enables members to pay for healthcare expenses interest-free, further easing financial stress. Unlike traditional health plans, Gravie claims that Comfort members save on out-of-pocket costs, and employers switching to Gravie often see lower premium expenses. The company has a high retention rate, indicating that many employees choose to continue with the Comfort plan in subsequent years. Gravie's goal is to simplify health benefits and reduce the financial burden of healthcare for its members.
