nib holdings limited
(ASX:NHF) has entered into a joint venture with Bupa and HBF to invest in the development of Whitecoat, an Australian healthcare directory aiming to be the ‘TripAdvisor’of healthcare.
When fully developed, Whitecoat will allow consumers to find, book, review and pay for healthcare treatment with their chosen provider.
Today Whitecoat carries publically available information on more than 35,000 registered providers, and hosts more than 250,000 customer reviews.
Whitecoat will expand its coverage of health professionals into the medical specialist sector, aiming to address the lack of transparency consumers face in selecting a healthcare provider.
nib holdings reported a net profit of $43.1 million at 31 December 2015.
