Direct Care Pioneers Converge at Hint Summit, San Francisco, June 8-9
Leaders in the Direct Care Movement Discuss Disruptive Healthcare Models that Empower Doctors
SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 29, 2018 / San Francisco-based Hint Health is proud to announce the second annual Hint Summit, June 8-9, a conference that for the first time unites the country’s most prominent innovators working toward the shared goal of redesigning the country’s healthcare system.
The 2018 Hint Summit brings together the most recognized and respected pioneers in the Direct Care movement, to share their thoughts and experiences with hundreds of attendees from the medical and tech fields through a combination of keynote talks, panels, collaborative breakout sessions and networking opportunities.
Innovative healthcare providers are increasingly harnessing the power of the Direct Care payment model to provide personalized care at very affordable prices while taking insurance companies out of the equation. The Hint Summit conference draws pioneers across all corners of the healthcare industry to share best practices and accelerate the adoption of these provider-led businesses.
Launched in late 2013, Hint Health is the leading Direct Care Administration platform, giving provider groups and health systems the administrative power of a health plan. With Hint’s powerful tools and domain expertise, nascent direct care organizations are able to overcome the administrative and financial challenges inherent in launching these next generation models. Some of Hint’s clients include Redirect Health, Nextera Healthcare, Wellness For Life, Peakmed, and Parsley Health. The company recently completed a $10 million Series A funding round.

ZDOGG, MD (Zubin Damania)
Forbes called ZDoggMD “The Weird Al Yankovic of Healthcare” whose hilarious YouTube skits (such as “Doc Vader”), parody songs and TED talks have been educating the public on the core systemic problems with the current U.S. healthcare model. He draws from his personal experiences as a doctor in the traditional insurance-driven model, and as founder of Direct Care provider Turntable Health, which was funded by Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh. His song “Readmission” (parody of R. Kelly’s “Ignition (Remix)”) has garnered nearly 2.4 million views. He has been profiled in nearly every major publication including Forbes, the Atlantic and USA Today.
