Priceline for Healthcare
Healora connects doctors to patients who are willing to pay at the time of service, thereby saving patients 30% to 70%.
When you currently go to the doctor, the charge is 3x or more than the government-mandated price. This excess is required so doctors can pay for the necessary admin, billing, and insurance related to collecting payment.
Healora saves patients 30-70% by connecting them to doctors directly. These doctors are willing to pass along the savings they capture by having patients pay at the time of service.
This direct connection allows patients to see a specialist for less money. Patients get to choose their service and choose their doctor without being limited to "in-network" choices.
Doctors get to perform their services without the administrative and billing burdens that require so much time and cost.
And employers save money because their employees get more healthcare for their dollars.
Healora has been issued 2 patents for its Healthcare Pricing Technology.
The business has been validated by doctors throughout Los Angeles with its first 100 registrations across all 25 of the AMA specialties.
