Sika Health

2196 Third Ave Unit 10039, New York, NY, 10035, United States

Overview

Sika operates a marketplace that lets customers use pre-funded Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) to buy qualified wellness and health products directly at point-of-sale. The platform handles regulatory qualification and substantiation, employs legal and medical experts, and partners with a team of doctors to provide consultations and approvals when needed. Sika says vendors listed on its marketplace see average customer spend increase by 55% per order and that it partners with major FSA/HSA issuers covering over 20 million customers. The company takes liability for transactions and removes reimbursements/receipt hassles for vendors by enabling direct purchases. Sika has 10 employees and claims to reduce friction that leaves an estimated $25 billion in FSA/HSA funds unspent annually (about $8 billion of FSA funds expire each year). The company plans to eventually expand into helping consumers spend healthcare plan (insurance) dollars, viewing HSA rules as analogous to insurance claims processes.
