How to Unlock Healthcare Access for Millions with Brian Whorley of Paytient

After a career spent inside a hospital, Brian Whorley envisioned a
future for American healthcare that, to him, seemed not just
possible but inevitable. Witnessing firsthand the growing number of
patients burdened by high deductibles, Brian understood that when
people have better financial tools to afford care, they seek
treatment sooner, leading to improved health outcomes. In 2018,
Brian co-founded Paytient, the company that empowers people to pay
for care over time with no interest and no fees—ever. Fast forward
seven years, and his vision is becoming a reality. Starting in
2025, every single Part D health plan in the U.S. will be required
to offer plan members the option to spread their out-of-pocket
pharmaceutical costs over time with interest-free monthly payments.
Given this new regulation, Paytient is expected to help nearly 25
million Americans more easily access and afford care next year.
Brian shares why he believes founders are forged as children, how
he built a business among a sea of skeptics, and why he thinks that
healthcare entrepreneurs have to partner with America’s existing
health system stakeholders to implement the most impactful change.
