Smartbenefits is one of the first Pakistan-based health insurance startup that is making healthcare benefits accessible and affordable for employers, be it big or small. Keeping up with the changing user needs, Smartbenefits through its platform provides employers and employees with more flexibility, transparent pricing, and high-quality healthcare experience. The platform understands the needs of businesses and help in setting up group health insurance for as few as 5 employees.
What started off as a small part of smartchoice.pk, one of the country’s leading insurance marketplace for the masses, has launched a dedicated platform Smartbenefits focused entirely on employee health and life insurance plans starting from as low as Rs. 4,000 per employee per year. The platform also enables ease of experience for employees with guided claims support.
It wasn’t until the COVID-19 pandemic that many Pakistani employers and employees realized how important healthcare truly is. While large organizations offer health insurance as part of their employment package, providing health insurance to employees was not a common trend amongst SMEs in Pakistan. This has completely changed in the post-COVID world, where retaining talent has become more difficult as people explore better work opportunities.
Sibtain Jiwani, CEO and Founder, Smartbenefits said: “In majority of the countries like US, most of the population is covered under employer sponsored health insurance. We believe Pakistan is set to move in this direction specially in the post-Covid world and rising quality health care cost. At Smartbenefits we are imagining group health insurance from ground-up, building technology that simplifies pricing, customer onboarding, claims and compliance in partnership with insurance providers.
The insurtech startup has a lot more exciting features and partnerships in the pipeline that it plans to reveal over the next few months and aims to completely transform the traditional employee healthcare benefits.
