GigSmart, Hooray Health, and Zurich NA announce a partnership

Zurich North America is partnering with two companies around medical coverage – Hooray Health, a provider of accident and sickness coverage, and GigSmart, a company connecting businesses with on-demand workers.

The companies are working together to reduce the high annual deductibles for major medical coverage for individuals. The collaboration also focuses on educating workers about the value of insurance and the coverage options available to them.

“This alliance leverages the strengths of all three organizations to develop tailored insurance solutions specifically designed for the individual worker and evolving workforce. Too often workers only have limited options for healthcare. Our plans supplement the online exchange plans very well, giving workers access to major medical coverage at a lower price point and the ability to use Hooray Health for non-emergencies.” – Shane Foss, CEO of Hooray Health.

“More than one million workers on the GigSmart platform will now have access to comprehensive insurance resources to help support their success and overall well-being.” – Mitch Catino, co-founder and COO at GigSmart.

“This collaboration signifies a long-term commitment to solving the growing financial burden of healthcare for individuals. Managing medical spending and debt is a real challenge for many Americans. And it’s something that Zurich, Hooray Health, and GigSmart are passionate about solving.” – David Fike, Head of Life, Accident & Health for Zurich North America.
