About us

Health care with nothing to hide.

Pool Health is built in the open, with the people it's for.

The why

Creative work doesn't fit the box.

Freelancers, crew, musicians, and young creatives move from gig to gig. Health coverage is mostly built around steady jobs, and many people in creative work tell us that finding and keeping coverage feels confusing, opaque, and stressful.

We think it should be possible to see exactly what you're paying for, what care costs, and why a decision was made. So we built a different model, and we're designing it with you.

Our mission

Care first. Books open.

Our mission is to design a community health fund that's simple to understand, radically transparent, and built so it never makes money by saying no to care.

We're early, and that's the point. Our first members help shape the details, so joining the waitlist gets you a real say in what we build.

The open-book promise

Every dollar, out in the open.

Pool Health runs with the books open.

What we publish:

How each member dollar is split: care, the backstop, and our admin fee.
Our admin fee as a flat, stated amount, never a cut of denied claims.
The rules for what the pool pays, in plain language.
Regular reports on what the pool took in and paid out.

This is a design goal, not a guarantee. Details will be shaped with waitlist members.
