IGNITE Health Partnership · Independent Medicine, Restored

Healthcarethat putsyou first.

Americans owe $220 billion¹ in medical debt — more than all other overdue bills combined. Premiums are rising 26% this year. A third of every healthcare dollar goes to administration, not your care.

The System

Built for billing departments,
not for the people inside it.

$2,497²

per person, per year

America spends this much per person on healthcare administration alone. Canada spends $551. The difference goes to people who never see your face.

26%³

premium increase, 2026

ACA premiums are rising on average. If enhanced tax credits expire, payments will more than double for the families who can least afford it.

34¢⁴

of every healthcare dollar

Goes to administration — billing, prior auth, insurance gatekeeping. Not your doctor. Not your care. Not the medicine you need.

The Way Forward

Skip the middlemen.
Pay your doctor directly.

Independent care on your terms. Whether your practice takes direct subscriptions, insurance, or a hybrid of both, with transparent pricing and a doctor who actually knows your name. Three ways to start.

Cost Comparator

See the real math. Three fields, sixty seconds — what you pay now versus what independent care costs, whether that is direct subscription, insurance co-pay, or a mix of both.

The Matching

Not a directory with a search box.
A matching service built around what you need.

Tell us what matters

Location, budget, services, personality. Do you want a doctor who texts back? Same-day appointments? Pediatric and adult care under one roof? We ask the questions a directory can’t.

We match. You choose.

Our algorithm scores providers on what matters to you, never on who paid for placement. Every practice is NPI-listed and independently operated.

Your data stays yours

We don’t sell your health profile, route your prescriptions to our own pharmacy, or steer you toward our own labs — because we don’t have any. The pattern this is built against is real: after private-equity-acquired US hospitals cut staff, ED mortality rose 13.4%⁶ and hospital-acquired conditions rose 25.4%⁷. UnitedHealth’s Optum already employs ~90,000 doctors and processes records on roughly a third of US patients⁴. We’re horizontal infrastructure between you and your physician — not a vertical pipeline that monetizes what we learn from you.
