About the job
In the U.S., the healthcare system is a leading cause of personal bankruptcy, affecting over 50 million Americans annually. The financial consequences of seeking medical care can be severe, ranging from lower credit scores to wage garnishments. This growing challenge is exacerbated by the rise of high-deductible health plans.
Cedar is on a mission to transform healthcare by utilizing data science, innovative product design, and personalization to enhance affordability and accessibility. Unlike the prevalent “one-size-fits-all” approach, Cedar aims to enhance the consumer experience through tailored solutions.
