Ghost networks limit access to care

Current provider directories fall short of delivering real access: they show who’s listed, not who patients can actually book.

Audits and secret shopper studies are exposing these gaps, revealing “ghost networks” that give the illusion of access, while patients can’t book care.

The opportunity

Appointments already exist – they’re just not accessible

In a nationwide study of 1,000 Zocdoc providers, we found that the gap isn’t provider availability – it’s how patients access care.
