Lightning Pitch: Heal – On demand concierge medicine

COMPANY: Heal

ELEVATOR PITCH:

Get well, better.

PRODUCT/SERVICE DESCRIPTION:

Heal is like Uber, but for doctors. We know how hard it is for busy families to get themselves or their kids to the doctor’s office. The traffic, parking and wait times turn a ten minute appointment into a half-day hassle.

Heal offers high-quality, unhurried medical care for adults and kids in the privacy, comfort, and cleanliness of their own home. Heal is concierge medicine, on demand—a house call doctor for everyone. Here’s how it works:

1.) Request an independent, licensed pediatrician or family doctor right from your iPhone.

2.) The doctor comes to your home in under an hour, for only $99. No hidden fees.

3.) Doctors are available from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM daily, including weekends.

4) Payment is simple—enter your credit card and it’s charged right after your visit.

5) You’ll receive a full medical summary within 24 hours.

Heal is cheaper and faster than our competition. At $99 a visit, none of the other companies in the space can match that price. Not only this, but we arrive within an hour—faster than both Pager and Medicast. Beyond this, Heal focuses on the family. Our brand is synonymous with friendly, patient and thorough medical care. While others focus on urgent care, we believe we can replace a family’s primary care physician.
