In this episode of Business Ninjas, host Andrew Lippman chats with John Fontein, Co‑Founder of Sesame, the first direct‑to‑consumer healthcare marketplace where patients can book appointments with doctors at clear, upfront cash prices—no insurance needed. John shares how a personal family health scare inspired him to tackle one of America’s most frustrating problems: access to affordable, transparent care. From urgent telehealth visits to in‑person specialist appointments, Sesame makes shopping for healthcare as easy as buying anything else online.
💡 A Healthcare Experience Built for Patients AND Providers
Sesame empowers patients to compare prices, choose how they want to be seen (in‑person or virtual), and pay upfront, eliminating surprise bills and endless insurance headaches. For doctors, it’s a way to reach new patients, manage their practice like a business, and get paid quickly without insurer red tape. With thousands of providers nationwide and 24/7 telehealth options, Sesame is redefining the patient experience, making care more transparent, more affordable, and more immediate.
