Yuzu Health
Yuzu Health is a New York-based healthtech company that rebuilds the administrative backbone of health insurance into a single, white-labeled system of record. Operating as a vertically integrated third-party administrator (TPA), Yuzu runs the behind-the-scenes engine for claims processing, payments, and member administration, letting insurers, brokers, and self-funded employers launch highly configurable plan designs - direct provider contracts, cash-pay options, and dynamic copays - without the heavy services burden of legacy administrators. Founded in 2022, the company works with customers across all 50 states and has processed more than $1 billion in claims payment volume.
