About
Certainly Health is a San Francisco-based healthcare price transparency marketplace — backed by Y Combinator (S23) with $2.3 million in seed funding in December 2023 from Pacific 8 Ventures, Y Combinator, institutional investors, and angels — providing patients with a doctor booking platform that shows upfront out-of-pocket costs using machine learning to predict and guarantee healthcare spending before appointments, addressing the surprise medical bill crisis where 57% of Americans have received unexpected bills and 38% delay care due to cost uncertainty. Founded in 2023 by Daryl Sew and Kevin Chiu (Stanford graduate, former Uber engineer, and Uber Health founding member who grew that program to $100 million in 2 years), Certainly Health enables patients with insurance to book doctors while seeing the actual cost they will owe — not the sticker price.
Cloud-based EHR and care coordination platform for long-term and post-acute care organizations. Mississauga, Canada. Raised $172M+, unicorn. Serves 27,000+ care facilities across North America.
About
PointClickCare is North America's leading cloud-based software platform for the long-term and post-acute care (LTPAC) market, headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. Founded in 1999, the company has raised over $172 million and achieved unicorn valuation status. PointClickCare serves over 27,000 care facilities including skilled nursing facilities, senior living communities, assisted living centers, and home health agencies across the United States and Canada. The platform provides electronic health records (EHR), billing, care coordination, and business intelligence capabilities.\n\nPointClickCare's platform is built around the complex clinical and regulatory workflows unique to post-acute care, which differ substantially from acute hospital EHR requirements. The system manages MDS assessments, care planning, medication administration records, therapy documentation, and the complex billing requirements for Medicare, Medicaid, and managed care payers. Its network effect is significant — because PointClickCare connects so many facilities, care transitions between hospitals and post-acute settings can be managed with streamlined data exchange.\n\nThe company has expanded through strategic acquisitions including Collective Medical, which added care transition and high-risk patient identification capabilities powered by a large hospital and payer data network. PointClickCare's Marketplace ecosystem allows third-party technology vendors to integrate with the platform, creating an app store model that extends its functionality without requiring PointClickCare to build every adjacent capability. As value-based care models push accountable care organizations to manage patient outcomes across the full episode of care, PointClickCare's position at the post-acute node of the care continuum becomes increasingly strategically important.
