Mission Statement

SmartHealthBuyer brings transparency, efficiency and competition for elective and non-covered healthcare services, providing best value for our consumers and improving patient satisfaction.

SmartHealthBuyer is a division of Tusante Inc., a privately held Delaware Corporation with national headquarters based in San Diego, California. SmartHealthBuyer is a healthcare search tool for common non-covered, elective, and alternative healthcare procedures.

Market Drivers - Five fundamental factors that drive SmartHealthBuyer's business:

• US consumers are using the Internet as a research tool to find peer-recommended practitioners in their area.
• Employers, drug companies and insurers are all passing the costs onto the consumer in whatever way they can: increasing premiums, higher deductibles, heftier co-payments for medical services and lowering employer's contributions.
• The desire of the consumer to take personal control of his/her healthcare decisions and expenditures.
• The loss of healthcare coverage and the percentage of the gross domestic product that is healthcare keeps increasing each year.
• The growth of the concept of "wellness," the desire to look younger, and be more physically fit for as long as possible — particularly for the "baby boomer" generation.
