Direct primary care

Updated

wai is the clinical operating system for direct primary care practices. It bills memberships through your own Stripe account, gives every member a patient app with messages, video visits, results and letters, and drafts each chart in 11 languages for the physician to sign.

With no claims to file, the chart is written for your patients and your own standard, and wai keeps it on one record with the membership, the messages and the payments.
