Included Health: Included Health bundles navigation with its own virtual care delivery, which closes the loop but creates a steerage conflict
Quantum Health
Healthcare navigation for self insured employers, delivered by pods of human care coordinators
As of 1 September 2026, Quantum Health's pricing is not published; the vendor quotes on request. Quantum Health is a care navigation vendor that intercepts members early in a care episode using assigned teams of nurses and coordinators. Softwr lists it under Healthcare. Quantum Health is made by Quantum Health, Inc., available on Web, iOS, Android.
Overview
What Quantum Health does
Quantum Health is a Columbus, Ohio company providing healthcare navigation and care coordination to self insured employers. Its model is human first: members are served by a pod, a consistent small team combining nurses, claims specialists and benefits coordinators, rather than by whoever answers the phone. The company distinguishes itself on what it calls real time intercept, identifying members entering a care episode from pre authorisation and claims signals before the expensive decisions have been made, rather than reaching out after the claim arrives. Commercially it is packaged in three tiers: Embold Plus for carrier compatible navigation with minimal disruption to the existing plan, Quantum Flex for modular selection of capabilities, and Quantum Signature for deeper clinical, pharmacy and provider steering integration. Public materials do not disclose per employee per month rates, implementation fees or minimum eligible lives, and buyers should expect fully custom quotes shaped by headcount, plan complexity, carrier relationships and module mix. Quantum works with self insured employers with around 500 employees and up. The distinguishing choice against Included Health is that Quantum does not deliver the care. It navigates, coordinates and steers, but the clinical services are provided by the network. That removes the conflict of a navigator recommending its own clinicians, and it also means Quantum cannot close the loop by delivering a visit itself. Employers choosing between the two are really choosing between integration and independence, and that decision should be made explicitly rather than on which demonstration was better.
What people use it for
- A self insured employer of a few thousand staff whose members call the carrier, get transferred repeatedly and make expensive care decisions unsupported
- An employer that has bought many point solutions and needs someone to route members into the ones already funded
- A plan wanting intervention before an elective procedure is scheduled rather than a report about it afterwards
- An employer that wants navigation without giving the same vendor the clinical delivery contract
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 Quantum Health.
- Nothing is published: no per employee per month rate, no implementation fee, no minimum eligible lives, so an employer cannot benchmark a Quantum quote against anything before entering a sales process.
- It sells to self insured employers of roughly 500 employees and up, so smaller and fully insured employers are outside the model regardless of interest.
- Quantum navigates but does not deliver care, so it cannot close a loop with a visit of its own, and members who are steered still have to obtain an appointment through the ordinary network.
- The pod model depends on staffing continuity, and turnover in the coordinator teams degrades exactly the consistency that the pod concept sells, which is invisible in a demonstration.
- Savings are measured against counterfactual claims trend, so the number in the return on investment case depends heavily on the methodology chosen, and employers should insist on defining that methodology before signing rather than accepting the vendor own model.

Answered, with sources
Questions people ask
Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
Is there a minimum employer size?
Quantum works with self insured employers of around 500 employees and up. It does not publish a hard minimum, but the model does not fit small or fully insured groups.
Does Quantum provide the medical care?
No. It navigates, coordinates and steers, but care is delivered by the network. That is the deliberate difference from vendors that own their own virtual clinicians.
What are the tiers?
Embold Plus for carrier compatible navigation, Quantum Flex for modular capability selection, and Quantum Signature for deeper clinical, pharmacy and provider steering integration.
Is pricing published?
No. No rates, implementation fees or minimum lives are disclosed. Expect a fully custom quote based on headcount, plan complexity, carrier relationships and modules.
