Fortuna Health
TurboTax for Medicaid
We built a platform that guides consumers through the entire Medicaid process - from checking eligibility to enrolling and renewing coverage. It acts as middleware connecting users to the complex $800B Medicaid ecosystem, simplifying an overwhelming system into one clear workflow.
We live in New York City and plan to keep Fortuna Health based here after YC.
Medicaid is managed heavily at the state level and New York is a large Medicaid market. Locating in NYC connects us to the largest concentration of healthcare organizations and partners we need to work with.
