Digital health startup CareLedger has launched out of Y Combinator VC accelerator on 22 July, with the aim of providing free care to company employees. CareLedger works by finding a physician from its list with good rating, who will perform procedures at the lower range of cost, the employer only has to pay if CareLedger can give a cheaper price than the average cost. CareLedger still gets paid on these free procedures, but the employer only pays the startup when the startup is able to lower the cost to a point that procedures are free to the employee. The service is available in all US states and Canada, but not yet in Europe.
