Not Only Do We Support the ACA - We Helped Shape It
1998
Before Softheon existed, founder Eugene Sayan filed a patent 6,477,569 B1 titled Method and Apparatus for Computer Network Management. This innovation laid the foundation for what is now known as agentic process automation, envisioning software agents that could intelligently route and optimize complex workflows. That bold idea became the DNA of Softheon: A culture of innovation, continuous improvement, and a commitment to building adaptive systems that make healthcare simpler, smarter, and more member-centric.
2000
Softheon launched with a vision to simplify complexity through technology. The company quickly built credibility with enterprise clients like Sony, JCPenney, and Chase by delivering powerful workflow and content management systems.
Those early projects honed the team’s skills in large-scale integration and process automation. They set the stage for Softheon’s eventual pivot to healthcare, where the need for transformation was even greater.
2006
When Massachusetts created the first state health exchange, Softheon worked with Perot Systems to deliver an enrollment, billing, and CRM solution in just 90 days, helping launch Romneycare successfully.
This achievement became the blueprint for the ACA Marketplaces that followed. It proved Softheon could build and operate exchange infrastructure at scale, balancing speed, compliance, and member experience.
2012
Softheon expanded into private health exchanges, giving employers, brokers, and individuals new ways to shop for and manage coverage. These platforms helped drive consumer-driven healthcare long before it became mainstream.
The lessons learned from private exchanges shaped Softheon’s later work in the Marketplace. The technology stack was refined to handle complex enrollment, billing, and reconciliation processes in both public and commercial environments.
2020
Softheon launched subsidiary W3LL, an integration engine connecting brokers, benefit partners, and ICHRA administrators directly to leading health plans. Bringing seamless On-Exchange enrollments, automated payments, and Off-Exchange ICHRA growth under one roof.

June 2022
Softheon partnered with Cox HealthPlans, a provider-aligned organization in Missouri, to power its Medicare Advantage operations. Bringing the same trusted technology already used on the ACA Marketplace, Softheon modernized Cox’s enrollment, billing, and compliance capabilities to keep pace with market growth. We are proud to support health plans across lines of business, lowering administrative costs for organizations focused on community-driven care.
Sep 2022
Softheon acquired NextHealth Technologies alongside its AI-powered analytics platform, bringing advanced data-science capabilities into the Softheon ecosystem. The technology and talent from this acquisition strengthened Softheon’s ability to help health plans reduce administrative costs, improve effectuation and retention rates, and personalize member engagement.
Founder and CEO Eugene Sayan shared, “Artificial intelligence in healthcare is here, and we are seeing the incredible impact it can have on both members and carriers. Our goal has been to make healthcare more affordable, accessible, and plentiful, and we see AI as a clear path forward to bring efficiencies to our carrier partners. This acquisition is a testament to Softheon’s commitment to helping health plans tackle some of their biggest challenges, such as population health and the movement toward consumerism in healthcare.”
2024
Softheon launched CITIZ3N, a subsidiary with a purpose-built platform to help state and federal agencies modernize eligibility, enrollment, and verification processes.
CITIZ3N combines Softheon’s two decades of Marketplace expertise with advanced automation, identity verification, and secure data exchange. CITIZ3N's Verify platform helps agencies streamline eligibility decisions, reduce fraud, waste, and abuse, strengthen program integrity, and allows for community engagement and work requirement tracking.
With CITIZ3N, Softheon expanded its mission beyond carriers to help governments deliver benefits more efficiently and equitably.

“Softheon’s expert knowledge of the ACA marketplace coupled with their leading enrollment and billing technology has made them the perfect partner during Hometown Health’s first open enrollment period on the exchange.”
David Hansen | CEO, Hometown Health
“[Softheon has] a fantastic solution and its performance has been great… the strength of the vendor relationship isn’t whether you have problems or not, it’s how you go about solving them and those issues.”
Paul Wingle | WellSense
“Anyone in group coverage knows the prices are rising. And they are rising astronomically. Small employers are cutting it off and deciding to not offer more and more every year… With ICHRA, we now have an opportunity to use our Marketplace plans and, through ICHRA administration with Softheon, offer smaller employers a more affordable healthcare option.”
