Fast, reliable surgical clearance — connecting patients with licensed physicians via telemedicine. No office visit required. Serving patients across the U.S.
The Problem
Surgical Delays Cost Everyone
Traditional pre-op clearance is slow, fragmented, and prone to last-minute cancellations. Patients miss appointments. Surgical teams lose OR time. Communication breaks down between providers.
Delays
Weeks-long wait times for clearance
Cancellations
Last-minute no-shows disrupt OR schedules
Gaps
Missed risks from non-specialized providers
The Hidden Cost of Same-Day Cancellations
Research across hospital types shows cancellations drain millions in OR revenue annually — most of it preventable.
Tulane University (2009)
"10.64% cancellation rate without pre-op vs. 3.92% with. Cost per cancellation: $4,550 ($6,646 in today's dollars)"
Multicenter Urban Hospitals
9.7% cancellation rate across 5,231 cases. Revenue lost: up to $465,000
VA Health Systems
12.4% cancellation rate across 329,784 cases. Revenue lost: $76.3 million — 28% from work-up/medical condition issues
Ambulatory Surgical Centers
8.6% cancellation rate due to inadequate pre-op preparation. Revenue lost: $44,011
Inadequate pre-operative preparation is one of the most preventable — and costly — causes of surgical cancellation.
