As a Social Purpose Corporation based in Washington, Clearcut Health delivers shared healthcare services designed to eliminate duplication, reduce administrative waste, and lower healthcare costs all priced transparently.
Who We Are
Clearcut Health operates as a Social Purpose Corporation (SPC) — a business model that blends profit with purpose. Our SPC structure legally commits us to delivering measurable public benefit, not just financial success.
In practice, that means we design data-driven tools and partnerships that advance healthcare transparency, data collaboration, and cost accountability. We work to make healthcare pricing data accessible so providers can negotiate fairly, patients can make informed decisions, and trust can thrive across the system.
By prioritizing public benefit over profit, Clearcut Health is redefining what ethical, technology-driven healthcare looks like.
Our Mission
To revolutionize healthcare operations through shared services that reduce duplication, enhance efficiency, and deliver transparent healthcare data with our cost-based pricing model.
By consolidating essential functions, from software development to cloud storage, we enable healthcare organizations to focus on what matters most: improving patient care while controlling costs.
Our Vision
To make affordable, data-driven healthcare infrastructure the standard across the United States.
Our goal: reduce administrative waste, standardize transparency data, and deliver non-proprietary shared services that lower costs and improve access for all.
With no external investors, Clearcut Health answers only to its stakeholders:
The organizations that benefit from our shared infrastructure
The employees who design, analyze, and deliver it with integrity and expertise
Our Purpose
We exist to support healthcare’s the third leg of the Triple Aim - reducing cost.
By eliminating duplication and unnecessary profit, Clearcut Health enables hospitals, payers, and providers to reinvest in what truly matters: patients
Our Commitment
Together, we’re changing the economics of healthcare — one transparent contract, dataset, and partnership at a time
