Personify Health
Merged Virgin Pulse and HealthComp, selling wellbeing engagement and third party health plan administration in one contract
As of 1 September 2026, Personify Health's pricing is not published; the vendor quotes on request. Personify Health is the 2024 merger of Virgin Pulse and HealthComp, so a buyer looking at Virgin Pulse is looking at this company under an old name. Softwr lists it under Employee Engagement. Personify Health is available on Web, iOS, Android.
Overview
What Personify Health does
Personify Health was formed by merging Virgin Pulse, a wellbeing engagement platform, with HealthComp, a third party administrator handling self-funded health plan claims. The resulting business sells health engagement and wellbeing, third party administration, digital navigation, care and condition management and payment integrity, to employers, health plans, health systems and through brokers. It also runs a partner marketplace so employers can plug in point solutions for mental health, family planning and nutrition. The distinguishing structural fact is that the engagement layer and the claims administrator sit in one company. Conventionally an employer buys a wellbeing platform from one vendor and pays a separate TPA to adjudicate claims, and the two never see each other data properly. Personify can act on claims data inside the engagement platform, which is the only way engagement programmes ever demonstrate medical cost impact rather than participation statistics. The counterpart risk is concentration: putting engagement, navigation, condition management and claims administration with one vendor means a service failure or a renewal dispute touches everything at once, and switching a TPA is far harder than switching a wellbeing app. Buyers are self-funded United States employers, typically mid-market and above, plus health plans. Pricing is per employee per month for the engagement side and per employee per month administrative fee for the TPA side, quoted together, and is not published. Buyers should note that Virgin Pulse legacy contracts and Personify contracts may still describe different service levels, and reward fulfilment costs, which are the actual driver of wellbeing programme spend, are usually a separate line from the platform fee.
What people use it for
- A self-funded employer that wants its wellbeing programme to act on claims data rather than report step counts
- An employer replacing a separate TPA and wellbeing vendor pairing that has never produced a shared view of member cost
- A health plan wanting an engagement layer over an existing member population without building one
- An employer running a large incentive-based wellbeing programme that needs rules, tracking and fulfilment administered rather than run on spreadsheets

The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Personify Health.
- Concentrating engagement, navigation, condition management and claims administration with one vendor makes a renewal dispute or a service failure an enterprise problem, and replacing a TPA is far more disruptive than replacing a wellbeing app.
- This is the merged Virgin Pulse and HealthComp business, so legacy contracts and legacy service levels persist, and buyers comparing quotes may be comparing two different operating models under one name.
- Reward and incentive fulfilment is the largest real cost of an engagement programme and is quoted separately from the platform fee, so headline per employee per month figures understate total spend substantially.
- The engagement heritage is participation-driven, and employers that cannot or will not fund meaningful incentives report the same low sustained engagement that afflicts the whole category.
- The offering is built around United States self-funded health plans, so the TPA and navigation value does not transfer to employers outside that market.

Questions people ask
Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
Is this the same company as Virgin Pulse?
Yes. Personify Health is the merged Virgin Pulse and HealthComp business. A Virgin Pulse contract or reference is a Personify Health contract or reference.
Do I have to buy the TPA services?
No, the engagement platform can be bought alone, but the strongest argument for the merged company is acting on claims data, which requires the administration side.
How is it priced?
Per employee per month for the platform, plus a separate per employee per month administrative fee for TPA services. Incentive fulfilment is a separate budget line.
Does it work outside the United States?
The engagement platform has international reach from the Virgin Pulse heritage, but the administration, navigation and payment integrity services are built for United States self-funded plans.
