Overview

DataPath, Inc. (established 1984) builds a benefits platform and BPO/contact-center services for consumer-directed accounts, COBRA, and premium billing. The public site lists administration for HSAs, FSAs, HRAs, lifestyle spending accounts, dependent care, transit and parking, COBRA, retiree billing, and direct billing, plus debit cards, electronic payments, and investments. Go-to-market is channel-first: TPAs and brokers, banks, PEOs, retirement/wealth firms, and HR/payroll providers. DataPath states it has processed more than 50 million financial transactions and has won 50+ national and international awards for benefits education and communication. Automated compliance is mentioned as a platform attribute; the homepage does not describe IRS Forms 1094/1095 ACA filing.

Why it matters DataPath is a CDH/COBRA infrastructure vendor TPAs white-label; it should not be confused with a 1095-C e-file boutique even though it is filed under compliance tools.

Target buyer
TPAs, brokers, banks, PEOs, and payroll/HR vendors that need a CDH/COBRA/billing engine—not employers shopping standalone 1095-C software.
Pricing model
Not published; partner/platform contracts
dpath.com does not list PEPM or per-account fees. CTAs are contact/demo for each channel segment.
