Unit Economics

Why Now

The window is open — and defensible.

Hospitals can't compete

Legacy revenue-cycle software exists to maximize insurance billing. No path to legal cash-pay isolation.

AI-powered matching

Intelligent specialty matching and automated acquisition. The operating system for direct-pay care.

Network density

5,000+ specialists, 55 specialties, all 50 states, credentialed and live. Years and $10Ms to replicate.

Regulatory fit

Medicare-compliant from $50, HSA/FSA ready, HIPAA cash-pay. Founder on NCVHS, advisory to HHS.

Multi-channel lock-in

Four validated segments: DTC, government, employers, partners. Diversification single-use platforms can't match.

Market tailwinds

Cost Plus, federal price-transparency mandates, the ICHRA explosion and the longevity boom — all aligned.
