Tony Miller, CEO, BindTony Miller’s passion for the health care system to be designed by consumers comes from his mother. As the matriarch of a blue-collar family, she would reference her ever-present “Grey’s Anatomy Handbook” to tell physicians how she wanted her children to be treated. His impatience with and irreverence for the status quo led him to co-found Definity Health in the late ‘90s. He pioneered consumer-driven health care because he passionately believes that changing the financing of health care holds the key to redesigning our broken system. After Definity was sold to UnitedHealth Group in 2004, he founded Lemhi Ventures, a venture capital fund dedicated to starting and growing disruptive businesses to redesign health care. As part of Lemhi, he launched Carol.com, a novel way to connect a consumer’s pocketbook to their provider choices. While both companies were successfully launched, proven and sold, Tony’s quest to solve our health system’s core problem was not complete. In 2016, he threw out the traditional health plan model, rebuilding it on an entirely novel financing system. Imagine having health care coverage for the way we actually use the health care system (not some health policy fantasy). Imagine having all of the treatment options and provider choices built upon your health conditions. Imagine health insurance that’s simple and available on demand. It’s finally here. With Bind, On-Demand Health Insurance, Miller and his team promise to truly change the way health insurance works.
