What your employees don't know about healthcare is costing you a fortune.
The vast majority of US adults are not health-literate, and because of that they cost 85% more in medical and pharmacy spend. They overuse the ER, agree to tests and scans they don't need, and miss opportunities to prevent disease or utilize effective benefits. Quizzify is health literacy with a curriculum reviewed by Harvard Medical School-affiliated physicians, taught through trivia mini-lessons.

The add-on that makes the rest of your stack look smarter.
Quizzify pairs with what your client already has — point solutions, TPA, wellness vendor — and lifts utilization on all of them. You're not asking your client to swap anything. You're raising the floor under everything.
The point solutions you already sold them.
The COE network. The virtual MSK vendor. The diabetes program. All of them work better when employees know what they are and why they should opt in. That's what Quizzify does. That's the line you can hold at renewal.
