Texas Free Market Surgery offers a near identical business model based out of Austin.
Green Imaging (who I used to work for) offers cash-pay imaging services for all modalities across Texas, and are in the process of expanding nationally. Because they contract with existing imaging facilities, they don't post prices publicly to avoid poaching patients, but if you call in or message them through the website, they'll give you an up-front price for any service they offer.
For family practice/general medicine, there's a business model called "Direct Primary Care" that offers you unlimited primary care services, usually for a cost of $50-80/month, and most big cities will have a few providers following this model.
A lot of progress is being made in terms of transparent/affordable outpatient and day surgery services, but it's hard to get spread the word because the current healthcare model is so entrenched.
