@zain_sheikh Thanks Zain! There's been an explosion of telehealth and virtual care companies since COVID, but these companies are forced to use tools that were designed for traditional, brick-and-mortar providers. That's what led us to build Opkit - a digitally-native solution for insurance verification!

@mian_azan Mian, you're alluding to a really important problem - it's called "deferred care". TLDR - Americans often avoid going to the doctor because it is expensive, and a chore. Unfortunately, this can have really negative health consequences, because we aren't doing all of the things we should be doing to prevent more serious illnesses. I believe Opkit will help eliminate deferred care by taking the confusion and frustration out of using your health insurance!

💡 Bright idea

I'm interested in seeing you guys resolve insurance verification from state-to-state and between specialists. For example, when I lived in NY - I had Oxford which took care of most medical bills, but often services were sent to Optum, who took care of any pharmacy, physical therapy, and chiropractors claims. I'm also interested and would love to learn about your plans for dental and vision care related benefits (as most of those are 'discount plans' than actual insurance). Disclaimer: I worked as an eye doctor in a cash-only practice in NYC

@priya_______ Priya, thank you so much for the insightful comments! I'm familiar with these "carveouts" where insurance coverage for specific types of care, e.g. psychiatry, is provided by an entity other than the main insurance carrier. These are super frustrating and confusing. What exactly was the issue with your Oxford/Optum insurance? Were you having trouble figuring out your benefits for these "carveout" services? Thanks for clarifying!

@shcallaway @justin_ko Congrats on the launch this is a great product! I'm curious if tools like this will motivate traditional practice providers to have a more tech-forward approach to healthcare in the close future.

@justin_ko @oscar__martinez Good question Oscar! I think, in addition to the "digital health boom" that we've seen over the last for years, there's an overall trend towards modernization within traditional medical practices. The software these practices are currently using was built in the mid- and late-2000s. It's usually on-prem and extremely clunky to use. ("Provider burnout" is a big problem in the industry caused by legacy EMRs.) This software also doesn't have APIs, so it can't be extended by developers or integrated with other apps. Opkit is an updated solution that addresses these problems.

Glad to see a solution for this that has such robust API support, and will certainly save a ton of time for practice admins and staff. Works great with Medplum as well - bonus!

@reshmakhilnani @kashshah_ The Master Plan!! Medplum is an incredible platform. FHIR is definitely the future, but unfortunately insurance eligibility is stuck on legacy APIs and standards. We would love for Opkit to be the bridge that allows FHIR-based healthcare providers to leverage eligibility checks!
