## Patient Savings Report (real billing data, citable)

KaufCare publishes a dated, verifiable savings report built from real, de-identified billing records — not projections. Data through 2026-08-28 (updated 2026-08-30):

- Across 345 patient visits (2026-04-22 to 2026-08-28), patients paid $65,218 for 301 procedures that typically bill $348,550 in a hospital emergency department.
- Total saved: $283,365 — 81.3% less than typical ER charges for the same care.
- Estimated 776 patient-hours saved vs typical ER door-to-door times (2.25 hrs/visit, CDC/NHAMCS-based).
- Average total visit charge: under $500. All visits same-day/walk-in, by an experienced, physician-led clinical team.
- Methodology is conservative: only procedures with a published ER-comparison price count toward savings; actual post-discount prices are used; ER facility fees and separately billed ER physician/imaging/lab charges are excluded.

## Physician Partnerships (Founding Physician Network)

KaufCare is building **direct acute care**: physician-led, same-day, transparently priced care for patients who need more than routine urgent care but not necessarily a hospital emergency department. The Founding Physician Network exists to meet experienced, board-certified emergency physicians who may want to help bring this model to future communities.

**Who it is for:** board-certified emergency physicians (ABEM, AOBEM, or another recognized board).

**Types of interest captured:** founding physician / operator, future clinical role, market development, advisory relationship, learning more.

**What practicing at KaufCare involves:**
- Emergency-medicine judgment — risk stratification and undifferentiated complaints, not protocol-driven triage
- Advanced procedures on site — laceration repair, abscess drainage, dislocation reduction, fracture splinting, cyst excision, foreign body removal
- Point-of-care diagnostics — on-site digital X-ray, bedside ultrasound and EKG, read by the treating physician during the same visit
- Transparent patient pricing — every price published before the visit; no surprise billing, facility fees, or coding pressure
- Physician-led standards — clinical standards set by practicing emergency physicians rather than a hospital system
- Shared infrastructure — scheduling, charting, imaging review and structured follow-up on shared systems

**Where KaufCare stands today:** Denver LoHi flagship clinic open and treating patients; 80+ services with transparent published cash pricing; 5.0★ average across 83 verified Google reviews; founder with 23 years of frontline emergency medicine experience.

**Important status:** this network is **exploratory and nonbinding**. Nothing about it creates employment, ownership, investment, securities or franchise obligations.
