The Quiet Company Behind $4 Billion in Healthcare Payments
A.E. Perkins has assembled benefits administration, payroll, direct primary care and payment infrastructure under one long-term owner. Its pitch is less about disruption than about making the machinery of work and healthcare reliably disappear into the background.
Vitable Health
Vitable Health is a Philadelphia-based health benefits company that gives hourly and blue-collar workers affordable access to primary care. Founded in 2020 by Joseph Kitonga, it pairs virtual and in-person direct primary care - visits, over 1,000 free prescriptions, common lab tests, mental health support and care navigation - with an integrated ICHRA platform, so small and mid-sized employers can offer real coverage to workers who typically fall between Medicaid eligibility and pricey commercial insurance. Employers pay roughly $30 per employee per month, and the company says it has made more than 100,000 lives eligible for care.
