HealthCare.com Ranked Number 99 Fastest-Growing Company in North America on Deloitte's 2016 Technology Fast 500™

MIAMI, Nov. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- HealthCare.com today announced that it ranked 99th on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech companies in North America.

Over the three years ending in 2015, HealthCare.com's revenue grew more than 1,000%.  The privately-held company expects its revenue in 2016 to increase by nearly 400% above 2015 results, and has expanded its services into the large market of Medicare-eligible consumers.

Earlier this year, HealthCare.com was honored as a Red Herring 100 North America company for its "game changing" approach to helping consumers shop for health plans, and it was also recognized by Inc. 500 as the sixth fastest-growing private company in the insurance segment.

"We are honored to be recognized by Deloitte as a Fast 500 winner in 2016," said Howard Yeh, co-founder and president of HealthCare.com.  "Since launching, our goal for the company was to apply our technology, data and health insurance expertise in a way that helps consumers make better healthcare purchase decisions, starting with their health insurance coverage. There's still a lot more work to do, but we're really proud as a team of what we've accomplished to this point."

Overall, 2016 Technology Fast 500™ companies achieved revenue growth ranging from 121 percent to 66,661 percent from 2012 to 2015, with median growth of 290 percent.

"Today, when every organization can be a tech company, the most effective businesses not only foster the courage to explore change, but also encourage creativity in using and applying existing assets in new ways, as resourcefully as possible," said Sandra Shirai, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP and U.S. technology, media and telecommunications industry leader. "This ingenious approach to innovation calls for the encouragement of curiosity and collaboration both within and outside the office walls."

Added Jim Atwell, national managing partner of the emerging growth company practice, Deloitte & Touche LLP. "Entrepreneurial environments foster change and innovation within businesses, and we look forward to watching HealthCare.com continue to drive change in its business sector."
