Founded in 1997, Highway to Health, Inc., which operated under the name HTH Worldwide, established itself as an online platform focused on healthcare for travelers. The company's core business was providing travelers with access to a global network of physicians for medical consultations, which could be booked from any country. In addition to its primary service, Highway to Health offered a supplemental health insurance product called TravelGap and provided general travel and health information. The company served various types of clients, including international students, individuals seeking expat health insurance, and corporate groups needing coverage for international business travel.
The firm's business model centered on offering a range of health plans and services tailored to the needs of people traveling abroad. This included specific plans for those on single trips, with or without primary U.S. health insurance, as well as annual plans for frequent travelers. Revenue was generated through the sale of these insurance policies and service plans. Over its lifetime, the company secured significant financial backing, raising a total of $25.9 million in funding over three rounds from investors such as Credit Suisse, TL Ventures, Swiss Re, and Anthem Capital Management. The first funding round occurred on June 15, 2000.
Highway to Health was headquartered in Radnor, United States. The company's insurance policies were underwritten by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company, which holds a high financial strength rating. While operational, the company also did business under the name HTH Worldwide. According to a Tracxn report updated in June 2025, Highway to Health is now considered a deadpooled company.
