My girlfriend is a medical assistant at a new internal medicine clinic. They are trying to do what is called "direct primary care" where you pay a monthly fee to see your doctor rather than getting hit with huge bills when you have something go wrong. The thing about direct primary care is that there is no easy way for a small health clinic to do the billing. Existing systems like Epic are very much stuck in the old way of doing things. So a startup approaches my girlfriend and the doctor at a conference with a solution to direct primary care billing. They decided to give it a try. She says it's been fantastic. They've asked for features and had them implemented in days. They can just call up the CEO on the phone and ask for help if they need it (obviously that won't scale well, but for now it's awesome). Try doing any of that with a solution from an established company.
