FOUNDER & VISIONARY
Dr. Chandra Bondugula
When the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) mandated that all hospitals in the United States meet Price Transparency, I knew my next endeavor should be to make this a reality. We have designed a price transparency engine that will help hospitals meet the CMS price transparency requirements and also host data from all the hospitals.
With my venture ZeaHealth, I and my team have already initiated the change I want to bring with two remarkable Products- ZeaMed and ZeaTool.
My mission is to Make Healthcare Shoppable as Airline Tickets. I believe that our technology can not only reduce healthcare costs but improve patient lives.
I am highly passionate about graduate medical education which motivated me to initiate a brand new graduate medical education program at North Alabama Medical Center, Florence, AL.
I also created Co-Management Innovation Tool and ZeaHub- A value-based outcomes management system to lower healthcare costs and improve patient care quality, safety, and experience.
