Get healthcare without insurance
Can't afford health insurance? You can afford Pocketero. Get the best prices when paying out of pocket. It's usually much more cost-effective than health insurance.
Health insurance costs $560 per month on average for an individual. If you can't afford it, you pay out of pocket at the worst prices.
Pocketero costs only $19 per month for a whole family. Use Pocketero providers and pay out of pocket at the best prices.
Lowest
prices
When patients pay out of pocket, providers avoid the complications, delays, and expenses of insurance. That's why our providers give their best prices to our members.
Full
transparency
When patients aren't using insurance, providers are allowed to disclose their prices. Our providers share their prices with our members, so our members can make informed decisions.
No
surprises
When patients pay directly, there is no cause for additional billing months later. Our providers bill everything up front so our members never get surprise bills.
You need price protection
For un-insured patients, healthcare prices are generally between 2x and 4x higher.

How it works for members
It's easy to start getting the best prices on healthcare:

- When you want healthcare, find a Pocketero provider in your area. (If a provider isn't in our network yet, you can invite them.)
- Visit the provider, receive their best price, and pay out of pocket.
Pricing
Patients pay a small monthly fee to be a Pocketero member, or they can be sponsored by their employer/church/etc.
