“We’re building the alternative to a broken US health insurance system by making it easier for people to access affordable coverage.

“By distributing through partners, customers will not only be able to buy insurance in the moments they need it most; they’ll also know exactly what they’re covered for—so they can live life to the fullest without the fear of going into debt from medical bills.”

Spot said that the customers can receive treatment at any licenced physician, hospital, or urgent care clinic.

The coverage is available with or without traditional health insurance.

Ensemble VC managing partner Collin West said: “Spot is the solution to an outdated US health coverage system that’s just not working for most people anymore.

“Spot makes it easier for more people to get affordable coverage, so they can chase what they love knowing they’re protected if things go wrong.”

In July last year, Spot raised $17.5m in a round led by GreatPoint Ventures.
