COMPANY
Protecting patients. Empowering providers.
Latin for “I defend” and the memorable protective spell in the beloved wizard series, Protego reflects our mission — to act as a shield against unjust medical claim denials, safeguarding healthcare providers and their patients.
For Protego Health, business is personal
Protego was founded after the brother of co-founder and CEO Corey Feldman faced over $1M in medical bills from incorrectly denied medical claims during treatment for ulcerative colitis.
No family should need to become an expert in insurance appeals just to get life-saving care for a loved one.

Built by people who've lived this fight
Protego Health was built by people who've seen what happens when claims get denied. That experience shapes every decision we make. We exist to make sure:
Providers get paid for the care they deliver
Patients get the treatment they need - not the treatment their insurer approves
Denials are no longer an accepted cost of doing business
The people driving change

Our values
Extreme ownership
We are not afraid of ambitious, tracked goals and take ownership for everything that impacts our jobs. We encourage a proactive approach to problem-solving and have a bias for action. When in doubt, do, learn, revise, and redo.
Radical transparency
Trust through openness. We share a clear, honest view of our progress and challenges, ensuring everyone understands our direction. We expect the same from our team, fostering accountability and collaboration.
Candid feedback
Accurate self-assessment is among the most difficult exercises but is critical for growth and development. We embrace a culture where giving and receiving honest feedback is encouraged to enhance our collective performance.
Detail oriented
We don’t let important details slip through the cracks. We ensure that communication with our clients is based on accurate information that has been carefully checked.
No egos. No passengers.
Protego is built by people with founder-level intensity – smart, resourceful professionals who default to action and measure themselves by outcomes. We thrive under pressure, have a bias for action, and operate without ego.
