Cresso Health launches to support health insurance distributors

Cresso Health is now live.

Co-founded by Frank Pistone, Mike Bully, and Gabe Tovar, the company focuses on enrollment solutions for the government-sponsored health insurance market.

It claims to offer agencies a true partnership rather than a buyout. They provide capital, co-governance, and support, while agencies gain ownership in Cresso Health and the fast-growing health insurance distribution market. The company also connects members to health insurance plans through a network of independent agents.

Cresso is backed by Cypress Ridge Capital, a growth equity firm focused exclusively on healthcare.

“Health insurance distribution is a dynamic and rapidly evolving industry. We launched Cresso with the independent agency in mind, delivering a capability set that will enable our partner agencies to best serve their respective consumers.” – CEO Frank Pistone.
