Intuitive Health was founded on the mission to improve healthcare for patients by determining the appropriate level of care based on the patient's symptoms, not the type of facility they receive care from. Patients are only billed for the care they receive (emergency or urgent care), which significantly reduces medical bills and unnecessary ER utilization. Its commitment to transparent medical billing and its exceptional customer service program, backed by industry-leading ratings, has attracted some of the largest healthcare systems in America. As 2023 begins, Intuitive Health has partnered with 14 healthcare systems in nine states with 19 open locations serving over 500k patients annually.

"Intuitive Health's growth this past year illustrates how essential dual emergency room and urgent care services are to patients and providers. In today's consumer-driven healthcare environment, combining emergent and nonemergent services under one roof strengthens the access to care in communities nationwide," said Thom Herrmann, chief executive officer of Intuitive Health. "By integrating services, we manage patient flow better and have established the most efficient care delivery available. As a result, Intuitive Health facilities are the gold standard for healthcare consumerism, providing better patient care and outcomes while saving patients, payors and businesses millions of dollars each year."

Intuitive Health's 2022 highlights include:
