Mark Hadfield makes no bones about the fact that the US is moving to a two-tiered medical system, where those with the means to pay more get better, faster treatment. His company, HelloMD helps in-demand doctors –mainly specialists– opt out of the third-party reimbursement system and serve the more lucrative, cash-paying patients.
In this podcast interview, Hadfield describes how his company is addressing the high end of the market. He explains how HelloMD fits in the broader ecosystem of concierge practices, medical tourism and high-deductible plans. And he shares HelloMD’s geographically-focused strategy to build a marketplace to serve its niche.
