What We Do
Garner is on a mission to fundamentally change the U.S. healthcare system by building an AI-first marketplace that solves the cost and quality crisis at its core. We analyzed claims records from millions of patients, using data science to objectively measure physician performance and identify the doctors who deliver meaningfully better outcomes at lower cost. We use that data to steer people to those doctors within their existing insurance network. Our products span a member-facing search experience that makes choosing a doctor simple, plus a financial incentive layer — if a member sees a top-performing doctor through Garner, their employer covers all or most of their out-of-pocket costs. Employers keep their existing plan and see lower healthcare costs alongside healthier employees.
