Free Online Platform Connects and Schedules Appointments with Health Practitioners, Without Lengthy Delays or Complicated Processes
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- HealthLeap (www.healthleap.com), a new online service that helps physicians increase their visibility and interactivity among a new breed of Internet savvy patients by helping them fill their available appointments and last minute cancellations, today announced general availability to patients in New York and San Francisco, with new markets soon to be announced.
Where HealthLeap fits
Today, many patients are already waiting upwards of 20 days to book an appointment with their physician. With an estimated 30M new patients expected to enter the US healthcare system in search of primary care or specialty physicians, finding the right doctor and scheduling timely appointments will be increasingly difficult. HealthLeap’s web-based service offers a seamless way to compliment increased use of the Internet and social media to connect doctors and patients. Once a doctor registers for HealthLeap, their open availability can be accessed in real-time so patients can quickly book appointments into those open timeslots, even when the doctor’s practice is closed. This results in optimized practice calendars, satisfied patients and a more streamlined healthcare experience.
HealthLeap is the free, effortless way to find and schedule your healthcare appointments, 24/7
HealthLeap is focused on addressing the interests of 75% of patients who would like to book online (WSJ/Harris poll). The platform is for anyone seeking an effortless way to find and schedule available healthcare appointments in their area and receive automated appointment reminders that help them stay on top of their health. The easy-to-use online interface helps to pinpoint relevant doctors across multiple specialties and insurance carriers, facilities and locations.
"I needed to make a doctor's appointment and fast - I logged on to HealthLeap, found a great doctor that took my insurance, and made an appointment for the next day - all without picking up the phone! HealthLeap even sent me an email reminder and a text before my appointment. HealthLeap took the frustration out of healthcare." (Lauren Mason, New York, NY)
Relief for physicians
Unlike other offerings, HealthLeap is more than an appointment management platform for doctors.

In an increasingly crowded medical environment, solutions like HealthLeap will be critical for managing patient care.
"I've been watching the online movement for doctors for a while now and after trying several different offerings that have come through my door, HealthLeap is one of the most thoughtful products I’ve seen to date.” said Dr. Valauri a New York, NY-based plastic surgeon. “The interface is doctor friendly and very simple to use."
