This week on Tech Can't Save Us, host Paul David is joined by John Fontein, co-founder of Sesame, a healthcare marketplace making quality medical care affordable and accessible for everyone.
They explore how Sesame’s direct-pay model enables patients to book medical services, ranging from primary care visits to specialist procedures, at transparent, upfront cash prices that are often 60% lower than traditional healthcare costs. John shares how the platform has already helped over a million patients save more than $50 million, and how competition on Sesame has driven prices down nationwide.
The conversation dives into Sesame’s innovative partnerships, including an exclusive Costco deal offering $29 virtual visits, as well as the company’s expansion into employer programs through Sesame @ Work. John also reflects on his unconventional journey from music production and finance to health tech founder, and the personal experiences that motivated him to tackle healthcare accessibility.
