This past July, Sheer Health hosted a rooftop event in New York City to celebrate an important milestone: the launch of its healthcare platform. But more importantly, it was a moment to recognize the real impact Sheer Health has already had on thousands of members. From simplifying complex medical bills to helping people better understand and maximize their insurance benefits, Sheer Health has been a valuable tool for those navigating the healthcare system.
The event, held at 817 Broadway with stunning views of Union Square, was a chance to reflect on how far Sheer has come—and how it’s continuing to evolve, building a platform that empowers members to take control of their healthcare and make informed decisions. Sheer Health is nearing the milestone of saving and returning over $5 million to its members. And as the community grows, so does Sheer's commitment to making healthcare more manageable and transparent for all.
Founded by Ben Howard, Jeff Witten, and Dan Horbatt, Sheer Health was created with a clear mission: to simplify the complex world of health insurance, healthcare and medical billing. The platform helps members to be knowledgeable about their benefits, be confident in getting care when they need it and be protected from erroneous or inflated medical bills. Sheer Health aims to bring transparency, support, and peace of mind to every step of the healthcare journey, making it easier for individuals to focus on what matters most, their health.
The evening was filled with highlights, from warm welcomes to thoughtful conversations.
Throughout the night, several members shared their experiences with Sheer Health. One member, Jordana, recounted how Sheer had helped her navigate complex billing issues, saving her hours of back and forth with the insurance company. Another member, a mother of two, and a business owner, highlighted how the platform provided peace of mind when her family had to unexpectedly change insurance providers while she was 8-months pregnant with her son.
These testimonials underscored the value Sheer Health brings to its members, making a meaningful difference in their lives. In the short time since Sheer Health began helping people, over $4M has been returned to members, tens of thousands of bills have been reviewed and out of pocket costs for thousands of prescriptions have been lowered or eliminated.
The primary purpose of the evening was to celebrate the launch of Sheer Health—a platform dedicated to simplifying health insurance and medical billing. During the event, the co-Founders, Ben Howard, Dan Horbatt and Jeff Witten thanked early adopters and partners for their support and shared the company’s vision for the future.
"Sheer Health is here to make a difference," Witten says. "We're committed to helping people navigate the complexities of healthcare so they can focus on what truly matters—their health," Howard adds. "The goal with Sheer Health is for members to never have to deal with their health insurance again."
