Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Zaya Care, Inc. operates a network of independent healthcare practices that contract with insurance carriers through Zaya in order to provide in-network care on improved economic terms. The company positions itself as giving small private practices the financial leverage and administrative efficiency of a large health system while allowing them to remain independently owned. Its stated aim is to remove the risk and administrative barriers associated with accepting insurance so that more providers start and continue to bill payers, expanding access to whole-person care in the United States [0][1][2].

The offering covers three areas: higher per-visit compensation for in-network care; support for expanding a single-discipline clinic into a multi-specialty or integrated care practice; and back-office support for credentialing, insurance eligibility verification and billing, delivered alongside a practice's existing biller and office manager. Disciplines named on the site include physical and occupational therapists, dietitians, acupuncturists, mental health therapists and lactation consultants [0][1].

Zaya Care's earlier public positioning centered on maternal care: press coverage cited on its own about page describes the company as bringing a European model of maternal care to the United States by partnering with payers, and a 2022 venture database entry states the mission as establishing a new standard for maternal care through a network of insurance-covered specialists [2][3]. The corporate structure includes affiliated professional entities Bienetre Medical PC (New York) and Bonheur Medical PC (New Jersey) [0][1].
