The investment arm of Marietta, Ga.-based Wellstar Health System, Catalyst by Wellstar, has invested in Venteur, a digital health startup that administers Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement plans.
ICHRAs allow employers to contribute tax-free dollars to employees’ health benefits, which employees can then use to purchase an ACA plan.
“At Catalyst, we believe the future of healthcare isn’t just about hospitals and doctors—it’s about empowering people with personalized, flexible tools to navigate their health journey,” John Cooper, vice president of venture investments at Wellstar and head of venture investment for Catalyst by Wellstar, said in a June 10 news release. “Venteur is doing exactly that. By putting choice and control in the hands of employees—and giving employers a smarter way to manage benefits—they’re solving one of the most frustrating pain points in the industry. We’re proud to partner with them as they reshape the health insurance experience, making it more personal, more affordable, and more human.”
