Dr. Brian Hill & Dr. Truc Nguyen/HIPnation

HIPnation is an Atlanta-based healthcare company that delivers an innovative healthcare solution to provide high-quality, affordable, patient-centered care. The model is founded upon a simple concept that produces a radical change – replace insurance in the primary care office with a membership-based approach. This single step removes the cost burden and distraction of insurance, refocuses healthcare on the patient, and provides 24/7 access to a personal Primary Care Physician. The model is further enhanced with significantly reduced cash rates for labs, imaging, medications, specialist consultations and outpatient surgical procedures. This combination leads to a lower cost, price transparent ecosystem for outpatient healthcare. This model can then be paired with lower cost health insurance products designed to cover those rare, high-cost healthcare events, thus placing insurance in its proper role. This healthcare ecosystem redesign reduces total overall healthcare costs, improves the quality of care, and promotes innovation in healthcare delivery while placing the patient in the center of healthcare.
