Our mission

Democratize access to healthcare — by giving the people who deliver it the leverage they need.

Kerbside Health builds front-desk automation for independent ophthalmology practices — starting with automated insurance verification.

Most healthcare innovation flows to large hospital systems first. We think the opposite — that independent practices, where most of America actually gets care, deserve the same tools. So we build them.

What we believe

Three principles. Every product decision passes through them.

01

Democratizing healthcare means equipping the people who deliver it.

The vendors selling new technology to healthcare build for Cleveland Clinic and HCA — practices with seven-figure IT budgets and implementation teams. That's not who delivers most of the care in this country. We build for the practices that don't have those resources, and shouldn't need them.

02

Technology should make your team stronger. Never replace it.

We don't build software that asks practices to fire people. Our products take the work your team hates — chasing payers, verifying coverage, hunting down benefits — so the people who chose medicine spend their week on patients, not paperwork.

03

Our product earns the relationship every month.

No multi-year contracts. No per-seat traps. No lock-in. If we're not earning our keep, you should be able to leave at the end of the month — and our pricing reflects that. We let the work speak.

Why ophthalmology first

We started with ophthalmology.

Ophthalmology practices feel the administrative weight more sharply than most — high volume, payer-dense days where every visit can carry a different plan, copay, and deductible, under rules that change without notice.

That density makes it the best teacher. Comprehensive practices and subspecialties alike — retina, glaucoma, oculoplastics, cornea — know which payers bury benefits and which plans quietly lapse. We started here because we have deep relationships in ophthalmology; other specialties follow what practices ask for next.
