Hixme Health Bundle Leverages Expanded Coverage at Lower Cost


Erik Wissig serves as the chief financial officer of Hixme Insurance Solutions, Inc., a provider of technology-based solutions designed to help employers offer worker-owned health benefit packages. Products available through Erik Wissig’s California-based company include the Hixme Health Bundle, a comprehensive healthcare plan package for workers and their families. 

The Hixme Health Bundle helps workers obtain better coverage at a lesser expense by expanding medical coverage beyond the limits of a traditional standalone core insurance policy. Workers start with a core health insurance policy and may supplement additional coverage in order to mitigate the financial consequences of unexpected medical events. Individual features vary among bundles, allowing workers to create a plan that suits their specific needs and circumstances. 

Extra value is created through safety net features that trigger only when needed, which reduce deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses. Reductions in out-of-pocket costs apply to certain prescription drugs, primary and specialty office visits, inpatient and outpatient hospital events, and accidents for workers under the age of 65. In order to trigger the bundle to include other coverages, the plan holder logs into their account and creates a new bundle event.
