GetInsured is a comparison-shopping portal for healthcare products and services. On January 24, 2006, the company launched a website to allow businesses and consumers to research, rate and purchase health insurance plans and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), and rate US doctors. GetInsured allows comparison shopping for medical services like heart transplants and out-patient surgeries, ostensibly for free, though advertising revenue related to consumer searches may fund GetInsured services.
In 2005 the company, then called "Healthia", was funded by Bessemer Venture Partners and Trinity Ventures. On September 20, 2006 the company changed its name to Vimo.
