Partnership brings transparent, bundled procedure pricing to HIPnation’s growing national membership
Philadelphia, PA – May 27, 2026 – Tendo, a healthcare technology company, today announced that HIPnation has joined Tendo Marketplace. Offering a level-funded plan that provides Direct Primary Care (DPC) for all employees, HIPnation expands Tendo’s network of plan sponsors, connecting members with high-quality, shoppable care across the country. This partnership will make Tendo’s Marketplace available to a fast-growing segment of consumers and employers seeking cost-effective alternatives to traditional insurance.
HIPnation’s Direct Primary Care allows employees unlimited access, longer appointments, same-day or next-day appointments, and 24/7 access, which drives better health outcomes and reduces higher-cost care, thus reducing claims. Through this partnership, HIPnation members will gain access to Tendo Marketplace’s bundled procedures with transparent, upfront pricing and provider- and procedure-level quality information — giving HIPnation’s care advocacy team and their members the clarity they need to make confident decisions about specialty and elective care.
“HIPnation members are exactly the type of consumer that Tendo Marketplace was built for, people who want to take more control of their care decisions using an innovative new model of healthcare commerce,” said Ben Maisano, SVP Strategy, Tendo. “By providing HIPnation access to our marketplace, we’re giving members a better way to find, compare, and book quality care. We enable shopping on value, with affordability, and convenience baked in.”
“Our mission at HIPnation is to deliver a high-touch, personalized, and cost-effective healthcare ecosystem founded upon Direct Primary Care and price transparency,” said HIPnation CEO, Dr. Brian Hill. “Partnering with Tendo gives our members a powerful resource for navigating specialty and elective care, with the same transparency and cost-consciousness that defines everything we do.”
HIPnation is a welcome addition to Tendo’s growing population of Marketplace of care seekers. The partnership strengthens HIPnation’s options in a competitive Georgia healthcare ecosystem. For HIPnation members, access to bundled procedures means fewer surprises on cost, on quality, and on outcomes.
