Castlight Health: Disrupting the Health Care Industry

by Kristiana Raube


This case study focuses on Castlight Health, a company that offered web-based health comparison tools for consumers. The company provided its tool through a business-to-business based subscription model where the employees of Castlight's clients could research health care costs before receiving care. The case study focuses on the company's newest product, a reference-based pricing product and whether this concept was a short-term fad or whether Castlight Health could successfully implement this new product and strategy.
