Boston, Massachusetts--(Newsfile Corp. - April 8, 2026) - UberDoc Health Technologies Corp. (CSE: APPT) (FSE: 4KL0) ("UberDoc" or the "Company"), an innovative healthcare platform empowering patients to connect with top physicians directly and without the wait, today announced its participation in Hint Summit 2026, taking place April 8-11 at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, Tennessee. At the conference, UberDoc will introduce its specialty referral program designed for direct primary care (DPC) physicians and their patients.

Hint Summit is the largest annual gathering of the direct primary care community, bringing together clinicians, clinical leaders, employers, and industry partners advancing the DPC model. UberDoc will be engaging with DPC physicians to demonstrate how its marketplace can serve as a natural extension of the direct-pay care experience when patients need specialist referrals.

The direct primary care movement is accelerating. According to a December 2025 study published in Health Affairs, the number of DPC and concierge practice sites in the United States grew by more than 83 percent between 2018 and 2023, with the number of participating clinicians increasing by nearly 79 percent. As this growing network of direct-pay primary care physicians expands, so does the need for specialty referral pathways that align with the direct-pay model.

Direct primary care physicians have built practices around a patient-first model: transparent pricing, unhurried visits, and a direct relationship with their patients. But when those patients need specialty care, the referral process often forces them back into the traditional insurance system, introducing uncertainty around cost, availability, and follow-through. UberDoc addresses this gap by providing DPC practices with access to a vetted network of board-certified specialists who offer transparent, upfront pricing and same-week availability, with no insurance pre-authorization required.

"DPC physicians have done the hard work of building a better primary care experience for their patients. Our goal is to make sure that experience doesn't end when a patient needs to see a specialist," said Sean Kearney, CEO of UberDoc. "We're building UberDoc to be the specialty solution DPC practices can rely on. Using UberDoc allows them to give their patients the same transparency and quality that their practices are known for."

Through the offering, UberDoc will provide direct primary care practices the ability to refer patients to board-certified specialists across more than 50 specialties with transparent, upfront pricing. DPC physicians can recommend a specialist and share a direct booking link with their patient, or facilitate the booking during the visit. The platform is designed to reduce the administrative friction that typically accompanies specialty referrals while keeping patients within a direct-pay care model.

The Company is also developing enhanced capabilities informed by direct feedback from the DPC community, including the ability for physicians to build preferred specialist lists, book on behalf of patients, and track referral outcomes.
