The company was founded in 2018 with the goal of helping deliver better health care and insurance at a lower cost to employees and families at these three leading US companies – and potentially other US companies as well.
Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan, wrote in an email to employees shared with CNN Business: “Haven worked best as a breeding ground for ideas, a place to test, test and learn – and a way to implement best practices. with all of our businesses. Our lessons have been invaluable. “
Thurston told CNN Business that “in the future Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway, and JPMorgan Chase & Co. … will continue to work informally to design programs tailored to the specific needs of our individual employee populations and locations.”
She added that “the Haven team has made good progress in exploring a wide variety of healthcare solutions, as well as testing new ways to make primary care more accessible, easier to understand and use of insurance benefits,” and make prescription drugs more affordable. ”
Going forward, the three companies are expected to continue to focus on boosting health care provision for their own employees, especially as the Covid-19 vaccine becomes available to a wider pool of Americans.
In his email to his employees, Dimon said, “We will use and build on the insights we have gained through our joint venture.” He added that there would be no changes to the employee benefits programs of the bank and that Haven would work with Amazon and Berkshire Hathaway to find new jobs for Haven employees.
Run by billionaire Warren Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway was recently looking for bargains in the healthcare industry.
