INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In a strategic move that will reshape the landscape of health benefits solutions, Remodel Health proudly announces the acquisition of PeopleKeep. The acquisition marks a pivotal moment and the combination of two unique sets of offerings.

Broader options will increase the competitiveness of their health benefits offering at a critical time to attract and retain employees.

Remodel Health Acquires PeopleKeep, Transforming the Health Benefits Landscape and Shattering Barriers

“Today marks a significant milestone for Remodel Health as we acquire PeopleKeep to further revolutionize the individual market for small businesses,” said Remodel Health Co-Founder Justin Clements. “Together, we’re driving a new era of innovation in healthcare solutions, simplifying complexities and setting the stage for positive change on a national scale.”

With the acquisition of PeopleKeep, Remodel Health emerges as the #1 ICHRA provider. ICHRAs are employer-funded Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs) that increase flexibility for both employers and employees to utilize the Health Insurance Marketplace better. The PeopleKeep acquisition allows Remodel Health to make personalized benefits administration even more accessible to small and midsize businesses, further amplifying their capabilities and standards for excellence.

“The fusion of Remodel Health and PeopleKeep ensures our clients will experience the best of both worlds—the personalized attention of Remodel Health’s white-glove service, now complemented by the efficiency and innovation of PeopleKeep’s automated solutions,” said Remodel Health CEO Austin Lehman. “This acquisition expands the breadth and scope of our services and software, ultimately enabling us to serve more clients in the various stages of business from when they first start up and as they grow.”

Small businesses can rest assured that the exceptional service they have come to expect with PeopleKeep will not only continue but will strengthen. Remodel Health’s white-glove service, renowned in the large group market, will now be complemented by PeopleKeep’s automated solutions tailored for the small group market. This comprehensive approach caters to the entire spectrum of employer needs.

“Joining Remodel Health will bring significant advantages to our customers, partners, and employees and positively impact the broader market for health reimbursement arrangements,” said PeopleKeep CEO Victoria Hodgkins. “We remain dedicated to creating innovative benefits administration solutions that empower small to midsize employers to personalize their benefits to better meet the needs of their employees and organization.”

Remodel Health’s acquisition of PeopleKeep is a strategic step forward designed to elevate its collective capabilities, enhance client satisfaction, and provide an enriching environment for employees. This marks the beginning of a new era in employee health benefits solutions.

“By combining our strengths, we aim to redefine the employee benefits landscape, setting new standards that will positively impact not only Indiana but national markets, empowering organizations to navigate the complexities of healthcare with greater flexibility and efficiency,” said Remodel Health Co-Founder Scott Lingle.

About PeopleKeep

PeopleKeep helps small and midsize businesses thrive by providing hassle-free employee benefits. As the first to market an ICHRA solution in October 2019, PeopleKeep has learned what the thousands of employers who use its software want: a seamless employee experience, easy-to-use software, and automated compliance.

About Remodel Health

Since 2015, Remodel Health’s intuitive software has seamlessly navigated employers through the process of crafting customized ICHRA health benefits solutions tailored to their organization’s needs. Remodel Health strongly focuses on exceptional customer service and is devoted to revolutionizing how health benefits are delivered to employees.

Fathom Applauds Introduction of the FRONTIER Act, the First Federal Blueprint for Independent AI Verification

Reps. Lori Trahan (D-MA-03) and Jay Obernolte (R-CA-23) introduce a bill to build a competitive marketplace of independent verifiers for frontier AI models.

WASHINGTON, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fathom welcomes the introduction of the FRONTIER Act, the most complete federal framework yet for independent, third-party verification of frontier AI. The legislation is built to earn public trust as AI technology continues to accelerate. As frontier systems begin to take autonomous action in the world, the gap between what these models can do and our ability to keep them in check is widening. FRONTIER is the starting point to close that gap.

“AI governance keeps running into the same wall. The technology is hard to measure and it moves faster than any law can keep up with,” said Andrew Freedman, Co-Founder and CEO of Fathom. “Trying to write the perfect rules and freezing them in place won’t work. What will work is a competitive market of independent verifiers who are accountable for real-world outcomes and who the government can actually count on. The FRONTIER Act shows we can move fast and still get this right.”

The bill gets the fundamentals correct. It sets one public standard – the adequate mitigation of catastrophic risk – and holds both the AI companies and their independent verifiers accountable to it. FRONTIER does not freeze a single testing method into statute. Instead, it licenses competing verification organizations, allows them to sharpen their methods, and gives the government the power to revoke a license when a verifier’s work does not hold up in the field. That is how you build a system that keeps pace with the science instead of falling behind it.

Fathom thanks Reps. Trahan and Obernolte for their leadership, and for their courage in releasing a discussion draft, inviting scrutiny, and incorporating substantive improvements from across the field. One priority improvement as the bill advances: giving the government a fuller range of tools to act upstream – for pushing companies to close identified gaps in risk mitigation early, rather than only once a catastrophe is imminent. We are committed to working with these sponsors, committees of jurisdiction, and Congressional leadership to continue refining the bill in the weeks and months ahead.

About Fathom
Fathom is an independent nonprofit whose mission is to build a governance architecture that helps society navigate the transition to a world with AI by fostering trust, safety, and innovation. Fathom has developed and championed the independent verification model for AI and works with policymakers across the country to put it into practice. Learn more at http://fathom.org.
