The addition of BeneStream comes at a critical time. An estimated 42% of U.S. households fall below the ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) threshold, meaning they earn above the federal poverty level but still struggle to afford healthcare. These households often include essential workers who are crucial to the economy yet live paycheck to paycheck, making healthcare a daunting challenge, forcing difficult decisions between paying for medical care or other basic needs.

ful. CashPay, with BeneStream's support, aims to provide even more resources to help users easily navigate public healthcare programs and reduce patients' financial strain.

Dr. Bernie Saks, Founder and CEO of ful. Health, emphasized the impact of this partnership:   

"The addition of BeneStream to the ful. CashPay ecosystem is a game-changer for part-time employees. BeneStream provides real, expert help for those who may qualify for critical healthcare coverage through Medicaid, Medicare, CHIP, or ACA programs. This partnership further strengthens our commitment to helping the uninsured learn, shop, and save as they make their best personal choices for care."

Now, with BeneStream's specialized expertise, ful. CashPay users can quickly determine their eligibility and receive free enrollment assistance into government-sponsored health programs, bringing patients closer to the care they need without the risk of financial hardship.

David Moser, Managing Director of BeneStream, expressed his excitement about the collaboration. "BeneStream is dedicated to helping group plan members access the benefits for which employees rightfully qualify. Through our partnership with ful. CashPay, we're excited to extend that same support to part-time individuals. Together, we're not just improving access to healthcare, we're ensuring that more people get the help they need to thrive."

The addition is also a natural expansion of ful. CashPay's partnership with Goodbill, a hospital bill negotiation service that helps patients apply for 501(r) financial assistance discounts available at most hospitals. About 60% of hospitals in the U.S. are nonprofit and required to offer patients discounts of up to 100% off based on income; a typical family of four can earn up to $125,000 and still qualify for a reduction on their hospital bill. Goodbill helps screen patients instantly, then guides them through the application process all the way to approval.

BeneStream complements another ful. CashPay partner, Quizzify. While BeneStream helps people pay for healthcare, Quizzify helps people avoid getting the one-third of health interventions that aren't needed in the first place and may even be harmful. Their catchphrase: "Just because it's healthcare doesn't mean it's good for you."
