Sika Health provides a platform to simplify access and spending of HSA/FSA funds for customers. The company aims to streamline the process of using health savings and flexible spending accounts for purchasing eligible items.

Sika Health

Paying for healthcare should be easy. Unfortunately for most of us, it’s just another pain. That’s because it’s nearly impossible to know what your health benefits cover and where they will be accepted. This is especially true for the 70 million people who contribute to pre-tax HSA and FSA accounts, but then struggle to spend their funds, leaving $150B sitting idle and sometimes losing these funds altogether. 

People want to spend their HSA/FSA dollars. Why not make it easy?

Sika Health empowers healthcare merchants to tap the growing market of HSA/FSA shoppers. Our IRS-compliant solution checks all the boxes so that merchants can offer shoppers the certainty that their HSA/FSA funds will be accepted. Sika shows up as a new payment method at checkout so that shoppers can directly pay with their healthcare cards, without ever having to worry about filing for receipts or reimbursements.

Our platform is integrated into leading e-Commerce solutions including Shopify and WooCommerce so that you can get up and running in minutes with no need to code. We also provide custom API integrations and white-glove installation support for larger merchants who have their own custom eCommerce platform. 

Top health brands like LOLA, Felix Gray, and Dr. Pimple Popper’s Skin Care are trusting us to help them grow revenue through HSA/FSA payments.

Challenges that consumers face, like Kristina Herrmann described in her post, are the reason that Sika Health exists.  Our mission is to enable consumers to use their health benefits accounts in ways that are personally relevant and impactful as they continue their long-term health journey. We achieve this by making paying with HSA and FSA simple wherever customers shop, so that they can buy items relevant to their personal health journey.

Cold plunges and saunas are popular right now to treat and alleviate various health conditions. Brands like Ice Barrel are helping increase access to cold therapy by enabling their customers to purchase with pretax dollars through HSA and FSA accounts with a supporting letter of medical necessity from a licensed practitioner -- all through Sika Health.

🌟 **Celebrating Juneteenth: Empowering Black Women Founders in the Startup World** 🌟

As we commemorate Juneteenth at Sika Health with a day of reflection, let's consider its significance and how it intersects with the startup ecosystem. 🚀

🔹 **Juneteenth's Historical Impact**
On June 19, 1865, enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, learned of their freedom—two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth symbolizes resilience, liberation, and the ongoing fight against systemic inequalities. For startups, it's more than a date; it's a call to action. 🌍

🔹 **Diversity and Inclusion**
Founders, investors, and teams: embrace diversity! Diverse perspectives fuel innovation. McKinsey reports that companies with ethnic diversity outperform peers in profitability. Let's build teams that reflect the world we serve. 🌈

🔹 **Broadening Market Understanding**
Cultural competence matters. Startups that understand diverse customer needs thrive. By appreciating African American history and culture, founders can tailor products and services to wider audiences. 🌎

🔹 **Social Responsibility**
Startups are catalysts for change. Let's drive social justice, challenge norms, and uplift marginalized voices. Juneteenth reminds us to fight for equality and dismantle barriers. 💪

🔹 **Support Black Women Founders**
This Juneteenth, let's spotlight Black women-led startups. They're shaping industries, solving problems, and creating impact. 🌟

#Juneteenth #StartupLife #InclusionMatters

Let's celebrate progress, honor history, and create a more inclusive startup landscape! 🙌✨
