Plotkin Health

What Plotkin Health does

Plotkin Health, founded in 2003 and headquartered in Vancouver, Canada with US operations in Kirkland, Washington, operates as a healthcare claims settlement intermediary serving international payers, travel insurers, US reinsurance companies, stop loss carriers, and US provider networks. The company negotiates directly with hospitals, physicians, and ancillary providers on behalf of payer clients to deliver guaranteed settlements with zero balance billing, achieving 35-40% average savings and a 95%+ claim settlement rate. Plotkin Health operates as a subsidiary brand under MacroHealth Solutions Canada, Inc., led by founder Shaun Plotkin (President) alongside family members Darren Plotkin (EVP Operations) and Glenn Plotkin (EVP Provider Operations), with Adrienne Finch as Head of Plotkin Health.

The company delivers its services through the MiX Platform, a proprietary data-driven technology stack that benchmarks pricing against Medicare, federal and state claims, commercial payer datasets, and historical facility cost data to support negotiation accuracy. Core product offerings span four verticals: Travel Insurance Payers, International Payers, US Payers (reinsurance and stop loss carriers), and Provider Networks, supplemented by two 2025-launched modules, Small Claim Resolution (under $5,000) and Second Pass Negotiation for out-of-network claims.

Revenue is generated via transaction fees on settled claims under a customized, quote-based pricing model. Distribution is enterprise-direct via field sales and dedicated account management, complemented by content marketing, whitepapers, and industry event participation (ITIC Global). The company is privately held with no external institutional investment disclosed, maintains audited SOC 2 Type 2 and HIPAA compliance programs, and reports a 100% financial guarantee on every settled claim.
