Understanding the Journey

At O'Eme, we know firsthand the complexities and challenges that come with navigating the healthcare system. Our founder’s journey into the employee benefits business 16 years ago was driven by a personal need to find quality, affordable healthcare in a pre-ACA world. Facing pre-existing conditions, limitations, and countless hurdles instilled in us a deep sense of purpose and empathy.

Our Commitment to You

Since 2016, we have been crafting and evolving O’Eme to better serve today’s employees, their families, HR teams, employers, and brokers. We understand how critical it is to access the right care—not just for survival, but for thriving. This understanding shapes every aspect of our work.

A Higher Purpose

Guided by faith and a belief that God has his hand on everything, our founder felt led to couple his knowledge with cutting edge technology and a award-winning team to meet the evolving needs of today’s employers, their employees & their families.

Your Partner in Benefits Communication

We are fully devoted to enhancing the employee experience by providing tools and resources that empower individuals to make informed decisions about their healthcare. At O’Eme, we don’t just understand the system—we’re here to guide you through it

Why We Do What We Do

Our founder's healthcare journey in 2022 highlighted the importance of accessing the right care at the right time. Facing a complex and high-stakes situation reinforced our belief in the need to navigate difficult healthcare challenges effectively. This drives us to support others in their healthcare journeys, ensuring employees gain the understanding needed to thrive in today’s complex healthcare and health insurance systems.

Why We’re All-Inclusive and So Driven to Keep Costs Low

At O’Eme, our goal is to provide a comprehensive solution that truly meets the needs of employees, HR teams, and employers—without adding to the financial burden. We recognized that the healthcare and insurance industries are often driven by profits, leading to inflated costs for services. Instead of following this trend, we’ve chosen to go against the grain. By leveraging AI and efficiency, we’ve created an all-inclusive benefits communication platform that covers all the bases at a fraction of the cost.

Disheartened by the high price points we saw in the market, we decided to build something better—for less. Our streamlined approach is designed to be as efficient and cost-effective as possible, ensuring that employees receive the support they need without the added expense of overpriced communication suites.

our story

A Personal Journey That Shaped Our Mission

The journey of O’Eme’s founder and CEO is a testament to resilience and dedication. From a very young age, he navigated the complexities of the healthcare system, driven by personal healthcare needs that were often misunderstood due to his age and appearance.

Early Challenges

Upon graduating college, he lost coverage from his parents' health plan, predating the Affordable Care Act's guaranteed issue coverage.

Forced to find employer-sponsored healthcare coverage, he made career decisions based solely on access to health insurance in industries that often did not provide it.

During onboarding processes, HR teams assumed he was in great health, and would want to breeze through communications,  but his above-average healthcare needs required greater attention to the details.

Pictured above in 2022 our founder was hospitalized due to a faulty defibrillator, a pulmonary embolism and a complex healthcare need was sending some love back home to his mother, letting her know he was OK.  His knowledge of navigating healthcare and insurance allowed him to enroll in the proper plan, and helped him in reviewing the top provides in the cardio-thoracic space which landed him on a medical flight to the Cleveland Clinic under the care of the #1 heart hospital in the country. The surgery was very complex and after a 28 day hospital stay, the healthcare outcome was a huge success. Defribrillator free and a new lease on life, it’s with gratitude he lives today.
