USA – Hint Health, a San Francisco, Calif.–based direct primary care (DPC) company, received a $45m investment.
The investment was made by Banneker Partners and Frist Cressey Ventures. The company intends to use the funds to further develop its operating system technology for core customers, expand its national DPC network, Hint Connect, and increase services that support innovative virtual-first care models and near-site / on-site clinics that directly contract with employers. Led by CEO Zak Holdsworth, Hint Health provides HintOS™, a platform designed specifically for providers of any size to manage the complexities of a membership-based primary care model. The platform automates the enrollment, membership management, and billing for DPC providers who are offering their primary care services directly to consumers for a fixed monthly fee. HintOS also supports providers in their direct-to-employer contracting by managing eligibility and a payment process that does not depend on a fee-for-service infrastructure. Additionally, with Hint Connect — a network of DPC providers across the country — plan sponsors and networks have the ability to grow and scale their practices with ease. The company is further working to serve and invest in healthcare providers in the DPC movement with the Hint Summit, a conference that brings together DPC pioneers and innovators to share ideas, build meaningful new relationships, and celebrate how DPC is setting a new standard in U.S. healthcare. Furthermore, for any size DPC practice looking to advance their success, Hint also offers DPC Accelerator, a free training and coaching program for Hint customers to learn what it takes to design, launch, and grow a thriving DPC practice.Hint Health is available nationally and powers over 2,400 DPC providers and 1,600 clinical locations across the U.S. reaching nearly 800,000 patients. 01/06/2022
