Flexpa is a San Francisco-based company founded in 2021 by Joshua Kelly[5]. The company focuses on providing digital health apps with the ability to connect to new patient access APIs[5]. Flexpa's main products are Flexpa Link and Flexpa API, which work together to help patients connect their health plans digitally and make accessing health plan data easy[3]. The company has raised a total of $10.6 million in funding over two rounds[9].
Flexpa aims to simplify the process of connecting patients' claims data across healthcare, benefits, and fintech applications[7]. The company addresses the need for a seamless way to access and share patients' claims, benefit coverage, medications, and other data from health plans[11]. By offering a developer-first platform with rich APIs and robust developer documentation, Flexpa enables applications to build novel patient and provider experiences powered by claims data[11].
Flexpa's tech stack is built around the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard[2]. The Flexpa API returns raw FHIR data in JSON format, which can be converted into a structured format for use in popular analytics tools and platforms[2]. Flexpa also integrates with the Tuva Project, a set of open-source tools that help transform raw healthcare data (FHIR, CCLF, etc.) into a quality-tested format designed for analysis[2]. By combining the Flexpa API and Tuva's FHIR connector, users can easily query user-consented health data and transform it into a storable, structured shape[2].
Flexpa's business model revolves around providing its API and Flexpa Link products to digital health organizations, employers, payers, and other stakeholders in the healthcare industry[4]. By offering a unified FHIR API and an end-to-end patient data request flow, Flexpa enables these organizations to access and analyze patient data, identify cost trends, and suggest adjustments to plan designs[4]. The company generates revenue through the use of its API and Flexpa Link products by its customers[4].
Flexpa adheres to the CARIN Trust Framework and Code of Conduct, which represents the consensus view of a group of multi-sector stakeholders, including leading providers, payers, and consumer organizations[12]. The company is also committed to respecting users' privacy and recognizing their need for appropriate protection and management of personal information, as outlined in their Privacy Policy[15].
