What Laso does

LASO Health LLC, operating under the WorkWell by LASO brand, is a U.S.-based digital health access platform founded in 2020 by Dr. Hamed Mizani and headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. The company addresses a specific segment of the U.S. workforce: hourly, part-time, variable-hour, and underinsured employees who fall between expensive major medical coverage and bare-bones telehealth. WorkWell combines 24/7 telemedicine (Connect), online therapy, prescription discounts (Meds), and access to a nationwide in-person care network within a single direct-pay product, eliminating claims filing and offering $0 virtual copays with unlimited visits.

The underlying platform is a direct-pay healthcare access layer that aggregates 1,300+ hospitals, 77,000+ ancillary facilities, 368,000+ practitioners, and 80,000+ pharmacies into a single member experience accessible via mobile app and web. Technical performance claims include sub-one-minute telemedicine wait times, an 83% virtual encounter resolution rate, and 50% average savings on in-person care along with 68.8% average prescription savings per member. The company does not disclose proprietary AI capabilities, APIs, or SDKs; the product is fundamentally a network-orchestration and discount-routing platform rather than an AI-native system.

LASO generates revenue through subscription-based employer contracts sold either directly or, more importantly, through a partner channel in which insurance producers and brokers add WorkWell to client benefit renewals. Pricing is quote-based for employer plans and includes a freemium prescription discount component. The company has raised $8 million in a 2022 angel round led by its founder and reports a customer base spanning healthcare, manufacturing, gaming/hospitality, oil and gas, sports/entertainment, and food and beverage employers, with named clients including U.S. Renal Care, Ovation Healthcare, Saracen Casino Resort, Ram, Ludus, Gulf Coast, and Rack House. As of early 2023, LASO operates on a nationwide U.S. footprint with 101-250 employees.
