Fortuna Health

Fortuna is the only consumer-first platform for navigating Medicaid end-to-end from eligibility and enrollment to renewing coverage.

We're backed by top healthcare funds and advisors/angels including a16z, BoxGroup, Y Combinator and the founders of Zocdoc, Pillpack, and Cityblock.

Today is the 59th anniversary of Medicaid - a program that has evolved over the years from safety net coverage for low income people to supporting pregnant women, children and infants, undocumented populations, differently-abled individuals, and those with certain health conditions. 

Fortuna couldn't be prouder to help beneficiaries navigate Medicaid/CHIP, and we celebrate organizations advocating for enrollees like:

National Association of Medicaid Directors
Association for Community Affiliated Plans (ACAP)
National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC)
Acumen America
The SCAN Foundation
Health Tech 4 Medicaid
Medicaid Health Plans of America (MHPA)
National MLTSS Health Plan Association and more

We've got our eyes on a new JAMA study published by Adrianna McIntyre and shared at AcademyHealth's Annual Research Meeting on Medicaid coverage. Losing Medicaid was significantly associated with delaying care and increased healthcare costs.

📝 Across 4 states (TX, AR, KY, LA), 1 in 8 beneficiaries were disenrolled from Medicaid during the post-pandemic unwinding.
❌ 50% remained uninsured at time of survey. 
👪 Most re-enrolled households had experienced gaps in coverage.
