The Offer
Direct Link to offer (contains my referral)
- Joany is offering a $25 reward via Paypal or Amazon for participating in a (~10 minute) healthcare survey.
Joany is a free health care concierge company which helps people navigate the healthcare system including signing up for a healthcare plan, taking care of unexpected bills, and things like finding doctors. They probably make money when people signup for healthcare plans through them, and also by selling aggregated data.
The Fine Print
- You do not need to signup for the concierge service in order to be eligible for this $25 reward, but you do have to give a lot of personal information including your name, email address, phone number, which medications you are taking, and a picture of your health insurance card. The bulk of the survey is asking things like ‘is cost your main concern or is the network of doctors’ and ‘did you change health insurers from 2017 to 2018’ and things like that.
- You are not eligible for the survey if you have healthcare through an employer or school or if you have Medicaid, Medicare, or VA insurance. This is only for those who bought their own 2018 plan with a private insurer, either through your state exchange or healthcare.gov, or who bought directly through an insurer like Oscar, Aetna, Blue Cross, etc, or if you bought through a broker.
- Jonay will review your submission to see if all is filled out properly and they’ll get back to you within 48 hours for you to confirm payment details. You will receive compensation within the next 7 days.
Our Verdict
I have private insurance not through an employer and was thus eligible for the survey. Survey only took me around 10 minutes to complete and was fairly easy. For me, the payment confirmation came with minutes, though they say it can sometimes take up to 48 hours. I googled around and it sounds like this company has been around for some years already (used to be called Impact Health) and has paid out in the past. Update: I received Paypal payment around 24 hours after completing the survey. It came as a Paypal e-check which takes a few days until it clears for withdrawal.
Again, there’s a lot of personal healthcare information given out, including a picture of your insurance card, so only do this if you are comfortable with it. I declined signing up for Joany at the present time, I just did it for the survey, but it actually looked interesting to me and I may sign up some time in the future. They probably hope that most people who take the survey will signup for the service; the $25 for them is probably both for the survey information and for what they hope will be a new Joany user.
Appreciate if you use my referral link for the survey and we’ll each get a $25 bonus. You’ll find your referral link to share at the completion of the survey. Please don’t leave referrals here in the comments. I’ve set up a separate page for that. You can also share with your friends through social media.
