The Future of Healthcare, Now
The Potential of
Virtual Care
Despite digital healthcare offerings growing faster than the rest of the economy, only about 15 percent of healthcare happens virtually today.
A convoluted payer framework, a byzantine healthcare system, and a lack of companies that marry clinical expertise with technology are constraining the impact of telehealth.
Removing the barriers to telemedicine helps more doctors scale their clinics, expand patient access to care, improves health outcomes, and can reshape healthcare for the benefit of all—providers, patients, employers & enterprises.
There is enormous room for growth and improvement in virtual care.

Sas Ponnapalli
CEO, Co-Founder
The only 2nd time founder in telemedicine on the planet.
Virtual healthcare isn’t just a fad for Sas; it’s a passion. Sas proposed a telemedicine mobile app as his final project while in college. It wasn’t funded. Relentless, Sas went on to found PlushCare, a vertically integrated telemedicine practice valued at over $100M. After learning how to scale a singular clinic, Sas decided to bring telehealth to the masses via Beam.
