Harbor Health

Shouldn’t health coverage… keep people healthy? At Harbor Health, we think so. But we may be a little biased—because Harbor Health didn’t start out as an insurance company. We started out by delivering 5-star healthcare in our very own Austin-based clinics. But, like most folks, we felt that traditional health plans got in the way of good health. That’s why we decided to create our own. Welcome to clinically-driven coverage: a new kind of health plan designed by Austin's leading doctors and innovators to keep our members on the smartest path to health— and save them money. It’s not impossible, it’s Harbor Health.
