South by Southwest names Benefitter one of five top finalists in the Health Technologies category to compete at the South by Southwest 2013 V2Venture (SXSW V2V) pitch competition at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas on August 14th.
“Benefitter is delighted to be recognized as a finalist in the South by Southwest V2Venture competition,” says Brian Poger, CEO of Benefitter. “The event is an excellent venue to highlight Benefitter’s mission to help brokers, employers, and employees navigate the evolving Affordable Care Act legislation.”
The Health Technologies category of SXSW V2V focuses on patient-centric health applications and technologies that connect patients, families, physicians, pharmacists, care providers (hospitals, clinics) and benefit providers to share timely, relevant health data and drive better outcomes at affordable and sustainable cost levels.
“At Benefitter we believe healthcare consumers need solutions that are user-friendly and straightforward,” says Conrad Voorsanger, VP of Marketing at Benefitter. “Our goal is to make navigating healthcare coverage decisions feel as comfortable and intuitive as buying a book on Amazon.com.”
