As the Midwest winter unfolds, bringing its characteristic gray skies, we've found a silver lining in the keen interest from employers in ImagineMD's approach to advanced primary care. This enthusiasm serves as a welcome distraction and highlights a positive shift in the healthcare market towards primary care models that not only promise but deliver better care at more affordable costs. This shift, driven by innovative benefits consultants, is reshaping expectations and outcomes in healthcare. Contrary to skepticism, models like reference-based pricing are making a significant impact here. Together with our partners at ClaimDOC and Connor & Gallagher OneSource we're consistently demonstrating that such approaches are not only viable, but also highly effective in reducing healthcare costs.

For employers who are grappling with the relentless rise in healthcare expenses and seeking a way out, we offer a proven solution. Our model is designed to address and mitigate these challenges head-on. If the increasing cost of healthcare is a concern for you, we invite you to reach out.

Trillions of dollars of value are locked up in serious, unsolved problems across the 81%. A big chunk of that relates to healthcare and HR. 110 million Americans struggle to pay for healthcare (avg. annual premium ~$22K for a family), and 1 in 4 Americans are now in healthcare debt. We are grateful to partner with Sasha Gribov, Gautam Kumar, and a16z Bio + Health as they help ordinary Americans navigate the convoluted healthcare system. Just last week, Milu worked with a family to modify a $6,000 bill to $0...and get a family's treatments covered for the year. If you are a self-insured employer (100-5,000 employees) looking to save on healthcare expenses while getting your employees higher-quality care, send me a DM.
