Meet Betterfly: the benefit you'll actually use Most benefits sit there until something goes wrong. Betterfly works differently. It starts with understanding where your health stands today, so you can feel better, perform better, live better. And the healthier you get, the more Betterfly gives back, with real rewards you'll actually use to invest back in your health. EVERY BENEFIT, FINALLY EXPLAINED Coverage amounts, payouts, add-ons, all in one place, in language you actually understand. No jargon, no fine print you need a lawyer for. KNOW WHERE YOU STAND Most checkups barely scratch the surface. Fast blood draw, doctor says everything looks fine, you move on. The problem is those checkups cover about 15 markers. Betterfly gives you 90+, covering hormones, heart, metabolism, the stuff that actually explains how you feel day to day. Broken down in plain language, not a lab report you need a doctor to translate. And it's already covered. Your employer already paid for it, so it costs you nothing. BUILD THE HABIT Sleep, movement, mindfulness, nutrition. Every habit moves you forward, and every action earns Betterflies. UNLOCK WHAT YOU’VE EARNED Discounts, gift cards, growing coverage, and donations, earned by getting healthy, made to keep you that way. MEET BUDDY Your AI health guide knows your results, your habits, and your goals, and always has your next move ready. Let's get started.
