Costectomy

Costectomy is a healthcare technology company based in Houston, Texas, that developed a cash-based medical lead generation and price transparency platform. Founded by Dr. Mirza Baig, the company's mission was to empower patients, particularly the underinsured and uninsured, by providing a marketplace for medical services with transparent, upfront pricing. The platform allowed users to shop for and bundle various healthcare services, including primary care, urgent care, and diagnostic testing, bypassing the traditional insurance model. By facilitating direct cash-based transactions, Costectomy aimed to reduce administrative barriers and lower the overall cost of healthcare delivery for both patients and providers. The company's innovative approach sought to build trust between patients and doctors while providing a blueprint for a more transparent national healthcare system.
