How we do it
The combination that lets us deliver exceptional value at $80/year.
Deep industry datasets
We have access to data that typically only insurers or hospitals see — provider prices, quality metrics, in-network vs. out-of-network status, and plan rules.
Proprietary tools
We've built technology to deliver these services super-efficiently — calling many providers at once to gather information, crawlers that track when pharmacy prices change, and more.
Human experts
Our team has deep expertise in medical coding & billing, provider scheduling and operations, prior authorizations, and other areas where experience matters.
The membership pays for itself
With even just one better decision, our membership typically pays for itself. Many members can save 10-50x their membership cost.
