Matt Herman: Transforming Healthcare Access Through Enhance Health
Matt Herman is on a mission to make healthcare accessible for all. As CEO of Enhance Health, a firm born from a partnership with Bain Capital in 2021, he’s turning complex insurance enrollment into something humane, tech-smart, and agent-friendly.
At Enhance Health, his job is to push forward strategic growth, oversee distribution, and ensure people get the coverage they need in the simplest way.
What makes Enhance Health stand out? Herman and his team built proprietary tools like “Enhance Marketplace” and “PlanRecommender.” These make matching individuals with ACA (Affordable Care Act) plans easier—often with subsidies. In fact, about 97% of clients pay $0/month in premiums while getting protection.
One big challenge Matt Herman addresses: the unwinding of Medicaid continuous enrollment. When people lose Medicaid, many don’t know what options they have, which puts vulnerable populations at risk. Enhance Health is designing programs with states to make sure nobody is left without alternatives.
Technology has been central to their strategy: a robust tech-stack, integrating CMS-approved EDE platforms, and tools to boost agent productivity. A recent milestone? Enrolling over 7,500 members in a single day during open enrollment. Lives changed, safety nets secured.
For anyone without health insurance, Herman’s message is clear: there are affordable or free options out there. It may seem overwhelming, but doing nothing is far riskier. Health coverage isn’t a luxury—it’s essential.
In 2024, Enhance Health plans to keep scaling into new markets and deepen its service so more Americans can finally get peace of mind when they need it most.
