Afik Gal, MD, MBA

I trained as a physician, then spent 25 years operating on the healthcare system instead. It is a longer procedure.

Now: I run UnNetwork, a cash-payments alternative to provider networks. Networks were supposed to lower prices. Ask your deductible how that went.

Before: I co-founded Assured Allies, which helps people age well and has been doubling every year. At eviCore I got software to make over 90% of the routine clinical decisions, which saved hundreds of millions a year and a great deal of hold music.

Also: I advise a few health and insurance companies on where AI helps and where it just bills faster. And I own a chocolate company, ChocAllure, because some problems do have simple solutions.

MD from Ben-Gurion, MBA from Duke. Based in Needham, Massachusetts.
