Problem
Patients in Colombia often face long wait times and opaque pricing when trying to access specialist care through traditional health insurance (EPS) channels, which require call‑center coordination and lack price transparency.
Solution
NexaSalud provides a membership‑based digital platform that lets patients directly browse a manually verified network of over 2,400 specialists across 27 medical fields. After selecting a clinician, a real advisor confirms the consultation price before the appointment is booked, ensuring no hidden costs. Members can schedule tele‑consultations or in‑person visits within the same week, using a QR‑based emergency profile and encrypted digital health records for continuity of care. The service complements existing EPS coverage, handling specialist access that EPS cannot provide promptly, while offering preferential rates and 24/7 support. Activation is fully online in minutes, with no minimum commitment and the ability to cancel at any time.

Primary customers are Colombian individuals and families seeking timely specialist appointments without bureaucratic delays, as well as employers offering health benefits to employees.
