The problem
Your work is creative. Your coverage shouldn't be a puzzle.
Gig to gig, show to show. Creative work rarely fits the way health coverage is built, and the system can feel confusing and opaque.
- Coverage that comes and goesWhen work is seasonal, keeping coverage steady can mean a scramble.
- Plans you can't decodeComparing options means wading through jargon, networks, and fine print.
- Prices nobody will tell youIt's hard to know what care costs until the bill shows up.
How it works
Simple by design.
Four pieces, built with our first members.
Join the pool
Members pay into a shared fund, with the fee and what it pays for published up front.
Your own doctor
Direct primary care with a doctor who actually knows you.
Posted prices
The fund pays providers' posted prices under public rules.
Backup for big stuff
A backstop so one huge bill never sinks the pool.
What's different
Built so saying no never pays.
Inspired by the Cost Plus Drugs idea of showing costs and cutting the markup, applied to health care.
Radically transparent
You see where every dollar goes.
Member voice
Shaped by members' input from day one.
Never profits from no
A flat, published fee. Denials earn us nothing.
No middlemen
We pay providers directly.
Who it's for
Made with creatives. Open to everyone.
We're starting with creative and entertainment workers. There's no age cutoff, and anyone fed up with confusing coverage is welcome on the waitlist.
