Amir Pirnia has a proven track record of helping startups develop from early-stage concepts to respected companies. The vice president for technology at startup Hixme, Amir Pirnia, among others, developed strategies and led implementation efforts in building a scalable cloud platform and backend matching algorithm that is more effective in health insurance plan selection in the individual market.
In traditional coverage, all family members have the same health coverage as a member of the family with a health issue, even if the other family members do not need that coverage. Hixme is out to disrupt this traditional large-employer health-benefits approach. Through its WorkPlace Market Platform, workers undergo a simple online benefit-shopping experience.
The platform, supported by proprietary algorithm, evaluates the individual needs and preferences of every member of the family. Workers view an easy-to-comprehend comparison of various coverage choices and costs, allowing them to determine the appropriate coverage for every individual family member. This approach eliminates over-coverage and results in lower cost.
