## Story
Healthcare in America is failing millions of people. Right now, 26 million Americans have no health insurance at all. Even worse, another 23% of working adults are "underinsured" - meaning their out-of-pocket costs are so high they skip medical care or go into debt just to see a doctor.Meanwhile, most telehealth platforms are making things worse, not better. They charge $89+ per visit, use nurse practitioners instead of real doctors, and focus on quick 5-minute calls rather than quality care. Legacy players like Teladoc are bleeding money with customer acquisition costs over $450 while providing a subpar experience.The result? 30% of working-age adults delay or skip medical care due to cost. People are literally choosing between their health and their wallet.HLTHi is real doctors on demand in minutes.We've built the first telehealth platform that puts both patients and physicians first:See a board-certified MD or DO (never a nurse practitioner) for just $50 per visitGet care 24/7 - often within 30 minutes of requesting helpNo insurance needed - transparent, upfront pricing with no surprise billsOptional memberships starting at $10/month for unlimited or discounted visitsEarn 2-3x more per consultation than competitors like TeladocWork completely on their own terms - log on and off whenever they wantZero administrative burden - we handle all billing, scheduling, and complianceMalpractice coverage included in their $200/month platform membershipNo Time pressure on visits - can practice the way on their own terms, the way it should beUnlike other platforms that treat doctors like gig workers, HLTHi treats physicians as true partners. We charge them a membership fee but provide malpractice insurance, a ready-made patient base, and tools that let them focus purely on medicine.The Numbers Speak for ThemselvesWe've achieved a high patient satisfaction rating through over 1,000 visits and maintained a customer acquisition cost under $35 while competitors spend $450-$800 per new user.HLTHi isn't just another video chat app - we've built proprietary technology that makes healthcare dramatically more efficient:Custom-Built PlatformProprietary EMR system designed specifically for telehealthReal-time scheduling that matches patients with available doctors instantlyIntegrated e-prescribing and lab ordering capabilitiesHIPAA-compliant, privacy infrastructureAI-Powered Registration & TriageOur breakthrough AI assistant automates the most time-consuming parts of medicine:Faster Smart patient intake collects symptoms and history before the doctor joinsReal-time clinical notes generated during consultationsAutomatic documentation reduces physician charting time by 50%This means doctors can see more patients in less time without sacrificing quality. A typical HLTHi consultation generates better documentation in 2 minutes versus 10+ minutes on other platforms.Nationwide ComplianceLicensed in all 50 states with partnerships including Quest Diagnostics, SureScripts, and NPDBMulti-state physician credentialing handled automaticallyCorporate Practice of Medicine (CPOM) compliant legal structureHLTHi was founded by the perfect combination: a practicing physician who understands what's broken and a platform engineer who knows how to fix it.Dr. Sujay Rao Kamisetty, MD - Co-Founder & CMOLicensed physician with computer science backgroundInternal Medicine & Cardiology training at University of FloridaFormer Chief Resident who led Quality & Safety at the VAFirst doctor on the platform - personally treated 40+ patients to prove the conceptDr. Kamisetty has lived the frustrations of traditional healthcare firsthand.

## FAQ
1. **Hello, I just wanted to say congrats on the business so far as it seems to be such a great idea! My question is do you have any current or future IP’s to deter any up and coming competitors from duplicating your product and capturing substantial market share? Thanks**
   - Thank you so much for your kind words and for asking about our IP strategy. We take protecting HLTHi’s brand and platform very seriously. Our “HLTHi” name is registered with the USPTO and currently pending review, and we’ve also filed a service-mark application covering our digital telehealth software, business model, and SaaS offerings, which is likewise pending. We expect both registrations to be finalized in the coming weeks and will share an update as soon as they’re approved. In the mean...
2. **seems you have traction , but what is it that makes a patient / user to subscribe into the platform ? why would he pay instead of the insurance company / employer, can you elaborate more into the business model ? I get the urge to getrid of an insurance company but what it wou...**
   - Dr. Buzaid, thank you for raising these points — they’re exactly the kind of questions we’ve built HLTHi to answer. For patients, the decision to subscribe to HLTHi often comes down to speed, cost, and quality of care. In today’s reality, if someone has something simple but urgent, like a cold or suspected strep throat, they have limited options. They can go to urgent care, which even with insurance often means a $35 copay and without insurance can cost anywhere from $125 to $325 depending on...
3. **This is an interesting concept and I applaud it being a way to improve the broken system. I'm a fellow physician, Internal Medicine physician, and a medical director for a large comprehensive health system. -What is the current revenue? -It's interesting to me that a Cardiolog...**
   - Hi Dr. Stewart, Thank you for the thoughtful questions! HLTHi is an “Uber-like” platform for comprehensive, direct-to-patient care. We currently have 40+ board-certified MD/DO physicians nationwide (Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Emergency Medicine) providing services from HRT and weight management to chronic disease care like hypertension and diabetes and even urgent care. And yes — as a cardiology fellow, HRT is outside my wheelhouse — but that’s what makes HLTHi special! With so many ...
4. **Thanks for answering my questions so quickly. I didn't get an answer to my revenue question. What states are you in besides Florida? What component of the $89 do the physicians partnering with you receive. What component of it does HLTHI receive? This has the potential to be a...**
   - We currently have active coverage in 35+states, with ongoing onboarding to achieve full national coverage. Regarding compensation, HLTHi does not take a percentage of a physician’s clinical fees. Physicians receive a flat per-visit rate, and HLTHi collects a separate platform and administrative fee from the patient to cover technology, support, and operational costs. From feedback we’ve received, we compensate more per visit than any other major telehealth platform. This is made possible by o...
5. **Good model with current healthcare demand.... but 1) What's your secret sauce for this company ?, Can anyone with Zoom/Teams/whiteboard/ have 1:1 with their doctor... infact many clinics now have this telehealth (including insurance companies). I understand the rate and for fo...**
   - Thanks for the great questions. HLTHi isn’t just another telehealth company. Our core differentiator is our on-demand provider flexibility combined with our patent-pending triage engine: providers can log in and see patients when it fits their schedule—similar to how Uber drivers jump on and off the platform—which increases provider availability and delivers a better patient experience. We also set a higher standard for care by allowing only MDs and DOs on our platform—no mid-level providers....

  - A: Thanks for the great questions. HLTHi isn’t just another telehealth company. Our core differentiator is our on-demand provider flexibility combined with our patent-pending triage engine: providers can log in and see patients when it fits their schedule—similar to how Uber drivers jump on and off the platform—which increases provider availability and delivers a better patient experience. We also set a higher standard for care by allowing only MDs and DOs on our platform—no mid-level providers. Most clinics and insurance-run telehealth programs underpay providers (driving turnover), make patients wait days or weeks for simple issues, and charge a $30–$78 co-pay on top of insurance. On HLTHi, a patient can connect with a licensed physician in minutes across video, SMS, webchat, or phone without repeating their history; our patent-pending LLM-based triage system understands their chart and prior conversations, ensuring continuity of care and protecting both patient and provider. We built this using our own homegrown AI stack—not off-the-shelf tools like OpenAI—so we have proprietary IP and full control of the technology. On valuation: our $30 million post-money valuation reflects a $25 million pre-money valuation plus the $5 million raise, which implies investors purchasing roughly 16.67% of the company; early-stage valuation isn’t about cash on hand before the raise, it’s about market opportunity, intellectual property, and traction—and we check all three. The U.S. telehealth market is projected to exceed $80 billion by 2030, with reputable forecasts ranging from roughly $88 billion to $150 billion depending on methodology, underscoring the scale we’re building for (see Grand View Research and other analyses). ([Grand View Research][1]) Our non-provisional patent protects our triage and omni-channel treatment model; this is a full application already filed and beyond the renewal stage, not a one-year placeholder. In terms of traction, as of August 11, 2025, we have 56 paying providers, more than 100 daily patient encounters, and an average of 56 daily Base Plan subscriptions plus 5 Standard Plan subscriptions (we’re actively optimizing this conversion rate). Taken together, these factors explain our $30 million post-money valuation and reflect where we are today and where we can scale—not the $31,000 we had in the bank.

- Q: Thanks for answering my questions so quickly. I didn't get an answer to my revenue question. What states are you in besides Florida? What component of the $89 do the physicians partnering with you receive. What component of it does HLTHI receive? This has the potential to be a major competitor to Amazon's One Medical in my opinion. Those are all the questions I have.
  - A: We currently have active coverage in 35+states, with ongoing onboarding to achieve full national coverage. Regarding compensation, HLTHi does not take a percentage of a physician’s clinical fees. Physicians receive a flat per-visit rate, and HLTHi collects a separate platform and administrative fee from the patient to cover technology, support, and operational costs. From feedback we’ve received, we compensate more per visit than any other major telehealth platform. This is made possible by our low operating costs and overhead compared to larger providers, and by bypassing insurance entirely. This approach cuts administrative waste and allows us to pass more value directly to our physicians.
- Q: This is an interesting concept and I applaud it being a way to improve the broken system. I'm a fellow physician, Internal Medicine physician, and a medical director for a large comprehensive health system. -What is the current revenue? -It's interesting to me that a Cardiology fellow is doing HRT and weight loss. This it not really commonplace. How is this being categorized? Primary care? Gynecological care? -What platforms are you using to see patients virtually? -Do you have more than one physician or APP serving these patients? -What are the plans to scale this business further in Florida and to other states and who do you envision being major competitors? You are using the Zocdoc platform so is there a plan for eventual integration with Zocdoc?
  - A: Hi Dr. Stewart, Thank you for the thoughtful questions! HLTHi is an “Uber-like” platform for comprehensive, direct-to-patient care. We currently have 40+ board-certified MD/DO physicians nationwide (Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Emergency Medicine) providing services from HRT and weight management to chronic disease care like hypertension and diabetes and even urgent care. And yes — as a cardiology fellow, HRT is outside my wheelhouse — but that’s what makes HLTHi special! With so many providers with fantastic/broad backgrounds, physicians can choose to see patients and conditions they are experienced and comfortable managing. We are not on Zocdoc or any third-party system — HLTHi is fully proprietary and self-integrated, handling scheduling, telehealth visits, EMR, payments, and care coordination in one ecosystem. Our growth strategy focuses on state-by-state physician onboarding, targeted marketing, and strategic partnerships to scale nationally. While other telehealth providers exist, our physician-only model, breadth/quality of services, and transparent pricing set us apart.
- Q: seems you have traction , but what is it that makes a patient / user to subscribe into the platform ? why would he pay instead of the insurance company / employer, can you elaborate more into the business model ? I get the urge to getrid of an insurance company but what it would be the incentive for users to use the platform. and why a provider will use the platform ? how revenue going to be shared with the providers , and is there a plan / way to include laboratory and investigation in to the equation ? thanks
  - A: Dr. Buzaid, thank you for raising these points — they’re exactly the kind of questions we’ve built HLTHi to answer. For patients, the decision to subscribe to HLTHi often comes down to speed, cost, and quality of care. In today’s reality, if someone has something simple but urgent, like a cold or suspected strep throat, they have limited options. They can go to urgent care, which even with insurance often means a $35 copay and without insurance can cost anywhere from $125 to $325 depending on the region — plus travel and waiting time. Or they may have access to an employer telehealth benefit, which is often just a 24/7 nurse hotline or an outsourced provider service like Teledoc, with co-pays in the $35 to $79 range and no guarantee they’ll speak to a doctor. By contrast, HLTHi offers a one-time visit for $89, or a subscription where the first visit is $10 and all follow-ups are $25. Every single visit is with a licensed medical doctor — never a nurse practitioner or physician assistant — and patients are typically connected in minutes. This combination of affordability, speed, and guaranteed doctor-led care is what drives many to choose HLTHi, even if they have insurance. For providers, HLTHi is a provider-first platform. They can log on and off as they please, with no required shifts or quotas. Our patent-pending triage engine means the encounter and a fully audit-proof note are already completed before the visit even starts, allowing most visits to finish in 5 to 10 minutes. Providers are paid immediately after each visit — often within minutes, similar to a Venmo transfer — which is a major improvement over other platforms that take days or weeks. Our malpractice coverage applies both on and off the platform and is offered at rates better than most providers can find on their own, and some join HLTHi for that benefit alone. We also run a license management program for IMCL-eligible providers, handling the administrative work so they can expand their patient reach without the hassle. Importantly, we do not allow NPs on the platform, ensuring no visit saturation and preserving the value of each physician’s time. On the clinical side, HLTHi already has national lab coverage through an enterprise account with Quest Diagnostics, and those lab orders and results are built directly into our home-grown EMR for a seamless workflow. We also have imaging fully integrated via our connected PACS system, meaning providers can order and review imaging without leaving the platform. This makes HLTHi a full-service virtual clinic, not just a video call service. In short, patients use HLTHi because it’s faster, cheaper, and more reliable than their other options, and providers join because it’s flexible, pays well, and removes the headaches that normally come with telehealth. And because we own the full clinical workflow — from triage, to diagnostics, to treatment — we can deliver a level of care and efficiency that’s difficult for traditional insurance-driven systems to match.
- Q: Hello, I just wanted to say congrats on the business so far as it seems to be such a great idea! My question is do you have any current or future IP’s to deter any up and coming competitors from duplicating your product and capturing substantial market share? Thanks
  - A: Thank you so much for your kind words and for asking about our IP strategy. We take protecting HLTHi’s brand and platform very seriously. Our “HLTHi” name is registered with the USPTO and currently pending review, and we’ve also filed a service-mark application covering our digital telehealth software, business model, and SaaS offerings, which is likewise pending. We expect both registrations to be finalized in the coming weeks and will share an update as soon as they’re approved. In the meantime, these filings establish priority, help deter copycats, and we’ll continue to monitor and enforce our rights as needed. Thanks again for your support, and please let me know if you have any other questions! - Gio Valentin
