Docierge — The world's healthcare, in your hands.
The healthcare problem Docierge solves
100 million Americans carry medical debt totaling $195 billion. 62% of personal bankruptcies trace back to a hospital bill. Meanwhile, the same procedures cost 60–80% less at JCI-accredited hospitals abroad — and breakthrough treatments unavailable in the US are accessible through clinical trials worldwide.
The information to make radically better healthcare decisions exists — scattered across government databases, clinical trial registries, and hospital price files in dozens of languages across 190 countries. No patient can navigate it alone. Docierge assembles it.
What Docierge answers for every patient
- What does this procedure cost at US hospitals? — Real median cost, 10th and 90th percentile ranges from mandatory CMS remittance data (enforced April 2026). Not estimates — actual paid rates.
- What does the same procedure cost globally? — Side-by-side benchmarks vs. vetted hospitals in Thailand, India, Mexico, South Korea, Germany, and 30+ other destinations.
- Is there a better or newer treatment anywhere? — AI monitors clinical trials, CAR-T access in China (850+ trials, ~$80K vs. $1M in US), GLP-1 generics ($30/month in India since March 2026 patent expiry), peptide therapies reclassified by FDA in 2026, and experimental oncology worldwide.

How the concierge fee model works
When Docierge arranges care, it handles all logistics: medical record transfer, international intake, travel, accommodation, translation, and follow-up care. Fee: 10–15% of documented cost savings. No savings = no fee. This aligns Docierge completely with the patient — unlike traditional agencies that earn hospital commissions.
