Award recognizes Cedar as one of the most innovative companies transforming the healthcare experience

Cedar today announced that it has been named by Fierce Healthcare as one of the 2022 Fierce 15 companies, designating it as one of the most innovative healthcare companies in the industry.

As the only complete solution to address all of the challenges consumers face when paying for healthcare, Cedar’s platform uses intuitive design and advanced data science to create personalized financial experiences, leading to more revenue, fewer headaches and happier patients.

“This accolade is a testament to the huge impact that Cedar has made on the healthcare industry over the past few years, and our plans to continue revolutionizing the consumer financial experience in years to come,” said Florian Otto, CEO and co-founder of Cedar. “We’re thrilled to start 2022 as one of Fierce Healthcare’s ‘Fierce 15,’ as it reinforces the market demand for personalized, streamlined and transparent experiences in healthcare.”

The Fierce 15 celebrates the spirit of being “fierce” – championing innovation and creativity, even in the face of intense competition.
