The real achievement here is how you were able to convince clinics to try your software. The biggest problem in healthcare is inertia. It is not that the tools don't exist but people in this field don't like change. I run a telemedicine startup Tangerine Health https://www.tangerinehealth.co/ and we want to approach self funded companies and their independent Third Party Administrators to provide a subscription base business model and it's so hard to meet the decision makers. We know employees will be more satisfied with on demand and unlimited services and save the company so much money.

Thank you for your note - so real! Your work looks really important. Interestingly with self-ensured employers you may want to try their HR/benefits departments rather than anything healthcare related. A lot of bigger companies will also use benefits brokers/consultants like Mercer, Willis Towers Watson, and more. Best of luck and let us know if we can be helpful to you too :)
thanks for the info!
Have you reached out to benefits brokers? I've found that they're usually easier to get in touch with.
Not yet will try thanks for the advice!
