The company: Level
Level is helping companies and their employees get the most out of their dental and vision benefit dollars by rebuilding insurance from the ground up. Simple plans, flexible networks, and instant claims mean companies can provide bigger employee benefits for less. Employees get more freedom, choice, and clarity in billing. And healthcare providers see claims processed in hours, rather than months. Level is changing the benefits game, and it’s giving everyone plenty to smile about in the process.  

Why you should pay attention 
Employee benefits are vital to attracting and retaining top talent and the traditional insurance model most companies use to deliver benefits is slow, confusing, and always ends up costing both companies and their employees more than expected. Level is disrupting legacy models with a modern approach for people-first companies. Now, getting the most out of vision and dental benefits, understanding what they cost, and paying for them is simple, clear, and fast for Level members. No more paperwork and bills in the mail. It’s a new model, and it’s all in the Level app.

Level is making paying for vision and dental benefits as easy as any other purchase. Companies like Intercom, Udemy, and Docker are seeing savings as they give their employees lots more benefit flexibility and choice through their Level membership. First Round Capital saved 47% while bringing bigger benefits to their team. Thistle saved 41%

How it works

Level members can find and visit any provider, and can easily compare in- and out-of-network prices before deciding where to receive care. The app sorts out all the paperwork before the member arrives for the first appointment, and lets members pay on the spot for any out-of-pocket copays during check out. 

Why we’re obsessed

Yet benefits and insurance, which are among the top incentives companies have to land and keep the best employees, has yet to transform — until now. Level is revolutionizing the employee benefits experience. It’s driving simplicity, efficiency, and value into the system for employers, employees, and healthcare providers. This space is ripe for disruption, and Level is the company out front driving it.
