- **Headquarters**: Saint Louis, Missouri, United States
- **Founded**: 1984
- **Founders**: Not publicly available

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Healthcare services – self-funded health plan networks and benefits administration support.
- **Target customers**: B2B – employers of all sizes, third-party administrators (TPAs), and payors of health benefits.
- **Mission / purpose**: To make health care access simple for employers by offering regional network advantages, flexible plan designs, and personalized support.

## Products & Services
- **HealthLink PPO**: A preferred provider organization network contracted specifically to serve Missouri and Illinois, with national wrap network solutions.
- **HealthLink Open Access**: An open access network option that supports employer-specific plan designs.
- **Wellness & Cost Management Programs**: A portfolio of wellness initiatives, high-cost claim management, provider transparency tools, and collective purchasing resources.

## Market Standing

- **Key Metric**: Annual revenue of ~$25.7 million (latest estimate)
- **Notable Investors / Partners**: Parent company Elevance Health, Inc. (formerly Anthem, Inc.); works with a variety of TPAs and employer groups.
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew 8.5% year-over-year (30 employees, +4 people); active job postings on Greenhouse indicate continued hiring.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Regional focus**: Deeply contracted provider networks in Missouri and Illinois allow lower costs for employers without paying for nationwide coverage they don’t need.
- **Local, accessible team**: Small, dedicated staff who can quickly resolve issues across departments – positioned as an extension of the client’s business.
- **Self-funding expertise**: Helps employers of all sizes adopt self-funded plans, which can be exempt from many costly health reform provisions and offer more control over plan design and costs.

## Strategic Focus
- **Expanding self-funded solutions**: Continuing to promote self-funding as a viable option for employers, supported by flexible network options and cost-management tools.
- **Enhancing digital engagement**: Recent video series and wellness content (e.g., “eHouseCall” articles) aim to help members take charge of their health and benefits.
- **Strengthening TPA relationships**: Working closely with third-party administrators to deliver tailored network solutions.

## Why Work Here
- **Small, collaborative environment**: With ~30 employees, staff work closely across departments, offering a tight-knit culture and direct access to leadership.
- **Stability with backing**: As a subsidiary of Elevance Health, HealthLink offers the resources of a large parent company while maintaining a local, independent feel.
