In September 2021, 1315 Capital and MoonSail Capital acquired a majority stake in the company, though financial details were not disclosed.

Homestead Smart Health Plans offers innovative health insurance solutions aimed at addressing the challenges of rising healthcare costs and decreasing coverage.

The company also provides stop-loss insurance for protection against catastrophic losses and comprehensive third-party administration services. Their customer base largely includes employers seeking self-funded healthcare plans that allow greater flexibility in provider selection, while also aiming to simplify the healthcare experience through enhanced support and legal safeguards against surprise billing. Homestead Smart Health Plans generates revenue primarily through its health plan offerings, including reference-based pricing and third-party administration services. The business model is structured around B2B transactions, partnering with employers to implement self-funded healthcare solutions for their employees.

Clients benefit from tailored healthcare offerings that align with their specific needs, and the pricing structure reflects the savings achieved through their approach, enhancing client retention and satisfaction. Looking ahead, Homestead Smart Health Plans is focused on expanding its offerings and entering new markets. The company is anticipated to launch new products designed to further streamline the healthcare experience for employers and their employees. The acquisition in September 2021 is expected to bolster their global growth initiatives, although specific markets or regions targeted for expansion have not been disclosed.

The funding from this deal will facilitate the company's efforts to grow internationally.
