Our History

passion for better health

Passion comes from experience, and our experiences in healthcare have been akin to most people's experience: less than optimal.


Our founder, Justin, has watched his mother's life savings disappear after a single, catastrophic emergency. And yes, she had insurance, but was saddled with out of network bills, co-pays, deductibles, and an incredible mess than dwarfed anything she experienced in her health episode.


How is it possible that a system designed to heal us can simultaneously destroy our finances?


We all have stories like this, or we can expect to at least once in our lives - our healthcare system is notoriously infamous. The desire to change the story is what drives us, and our fuel comes from the successes we see in our efforts.


In 2015, Justin began putting a team together to do something different in healthcare. Through many trials and decision points, the team has been assembled to drive fundamental change in healthcare. Literally, thousands of healthcare partners, employers, school districts, state/local governments, and patients have joined the movement to a build a better healthcare system.



Our Values

build with purpose, grow with integrity

  • Build with purpose: to build a better healthcare system that equally services its three constituents (patient, provider, plan sponsor)

  • Integrity in everything: we have strict rules to ensure integrity remains in tact, as an example, we don't partner with companies who have non-strategic private equity or venture capital funding

  • Drive client value: value is the cross between quality & cost, and we must always press on both


The Team

certified to be amazing

We work with only the best, and that is literal. If you are not the very best at what you do, we'll either push you to get there or part ways.

The team bios/intros will be updated soon



Experience

been there, done that

Many of us have worked in the legacy healthcare system & process, always questioning why it has to work this way, and what can be done to improve. This includes roles in various areas of the healthcare ecosystem: physician, broker/advisor, employers (exec, CFO, HR), pharmacy (pbm), government, legal, and even practice managers. The diverse set of experiences help us identify gaps across each area of healthcare, we're not narrow enough to think that our specific experiences are the only ones that matter.

Fixing a problem requires a deep understanding of how things currently operate, then AND only then, can one expect to be helpful in solving. We live by this in everything we do; we must - as the US healthcare system is one of the most complex systems ever created by humans.
