Garner is on a mission to transform the U.S. healthcare system — and we’re the only proven player doing exactly that. We partner with employers to redesign how healthcare works: applying 550+ proprietary clinical metrics across 80+ specialties to a dataset of 320M+ patients to identify the best-performing doctors, then using compelling incentives to steer members to the care that helps them get healthier, faster.
The result is a rare “win win” — better care and lower costs for both members and employers. In just five years, our work has helped over 2.5 million people access higher-quality care and saved $1B in healthcare costs. We recently raised our Series E and have doubled five years running.

Garner Health Insights
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.
