SmashMeals is a founder-run production kitchen in Kingsport, Tennessee that healthcare organizations can use as a regional fulfillment partner, a primary vendor for a defined program, a specialty gluten-free provider, backup capacity, or white-label production where the contract structure allows it. We are not in-network with any plan today and we do not bill claims — the honest starting point is a scoped 90-day pilot with agreed reporting and a written review at the end.
Regional fulfillment partner for a defined geography.
Primary vendor for a specific program or cohort.
Specialty gluten-free provider alongside an existing vendor.
Backup or overflow production capacity.
White-label or subcontract production where the contract structure allows it.

Frequently asked questions
Is SmashMeals contracted or credentialed with health plans?
No. We are not in-network, credentialed, or contracted with any health plan, Medicare Advantage plan, Medicaid program, or MCO. We are actively interested in contracting conversations.
Can you handle claims, eligibility files, or EDI?
Not today. Claims submission, eligibility verification, and EDI-style file exchange are on our build list for healthcare contracting, not capabilities we currently offer.
Are you HIPAA compliant?
We do not represent ourselves as operating a HIPAA-aligned workflow today. Any exchange of protected health information would require a compliant process and an executed agreement first.
What does a 90-day pilot involve?
An agreed member count and geography, a defined menu and fulfillment cadence, delivery tracking, simple operational and satisfaction reporting, and a written end-of-pilot review.
