Bento Health was purpose-built for one group: high-risk patients.
At Bento Health, we believe that healthy food is medicine and more. It’s a powerful catalyst for building trust, inspiring lasting behavior change, and connecting people to the care they need to live healthier lives.
When you start by fulfilling people’s basic needs, the results are incredible.
What is Bento Health?
1
We meet basic needs
Each Bento Health member receives regular deliveries of healthy groceries. It’s convenient, reliable, and consistent. This is how we earn trust.
2
We close care gaps
Once we build trust, our Care Navigators work with members to to take the Next Best Step, whether that’s improving adherence with clinician prescribed care pans, lab work, scheduling a PCP visit, etc. This is where the real change happens.
Food is more than nutrition
Traditional Food as Medicine programs focus on what gets delivered. Bento Health focuses on what happens next.
By combining medically-tailored groceries with sustained member engagement, personalized coaching, and care navigation, Bento Health helps health plans turn nutrition benefits into measurable improvements in clinical outcomes, healthcare utilization, and cost.
