our story
The Paxos Health team came together at Stanford from personal healthcare experiences and one very odd coincidence.
In 2021, Alex was denied by his health insurance company for a $40,000 medical procedure, and an anonymous Reddit user who also had previously overturned his own insurance denial helped Alex win his appeal. Later, at Stanford, Alex met Haley, and they decided to start a venture to help patients navigate health insurance appeals, driven by Alex’s personal experience.
Alex, Haley & Malcolm Unite
Soon, Alex and Haley discovered another Stanford student was working on a similar project. It turns out, that Stanford student was the same anonymous Reddit user that had helped Alex in 2021: Malcolm. They decided to join forces and have been working together on Paxos Health ever since.
After working directly with patients and successfully overturning denials, the team began receiving outreach from medical technology companies seeking help with patient access to their innovative treatments. Haley, our CEO, brings deep experience to this area, having spent seven years at Medtronic. Recognizing a broader need, Paxos expanded its mission - building tools to help more patients access cutting-edge treatments and receive the best care possible.
Rather than replacing your patient access team, we aim to make them more effective.
