Since 1989, founder Merrit Quarum, MD has seen first-hand how changing legislation, provider consolidation, private equity incentives, and distorted insurance markets have allowed hospitals and physicians to dramatically inflate their charges, passing on the cost to those receiving the care and the bill. This made the cost of healthcare for patients and payors alike escalate to unsustainable levels, while unethical and opaque business models ruined countless lives physically and financially.
So Dr. Quarum took his experience as a physician, scientist, and patient and launched a quest for greater fairness.
