Today’s healthcare experience is unpredictable
Costs are unknown, wait times are unknown, germs you are exposed to are unknown. Depending on your health insurance plan and where you go to seek care, you could spend between $100 and $2,000 for your medical care, Rx medications, gas, parking, tolls, foods, beverages, over-the-counter remedies, child care, etc. WhiteGlove House Call Health has addressed this issue in Texas by offering routine medical care to its members that has transparent pricing, visit times that are reserved, and medical professionals that come to you at home or work, 365 days a year from 8am to 8pm. And, if you have Aetna or Humana you only pay your specialist co-pay for our visits (or co-insurance/deductible depending on your plan) to get it all!

The problem with today's healthcare
Today’s healthcare is based on a fee-for-service model. Since insurance companies continually reduce the amount they pay for each service, it forces medical care providers to order extra tests and procedures as well as conduct unnecessary visits in order to make a living. This model needs to change in order to reduce the cost of healthcare. WhiteGlove House Call Heath has addressed this issue for routine medical care by creating a “fee-for-duration-of-time” model, also known as a membership. This model charges just one fee for a membership plus a small visit fee each time the service is used. This model caps the cost of routine care for WhiteGlove members. The annual membership fee is about the cost of one visit to an urgent care clinic. And, WhiteGlove comes to its members at work or at home, 365 days a year, from 8am to 8pm. The small visit fee of around $35 includes medical care, generic Rx medications, foods, beverages, and over-the-counter remedies. With thousands of members in Texas this model is being met with a lot of interest and is being supported by three of the largest health insurance companies in the country.

My name is Bob Fabbio. I have been characterized by others as a visionary and successful serial entrepreneur. I have founded and built multiple industry-leading companies by identifying large emerging markets, gaining intimate knowledge of customer problems, challenging conventional wisdom, and bringing targeted, innovative products to market. In recognition of success in building world-class businesses, I was awarded the Ernst &Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 1997. I subsequently served as a chair person and as a judge for the Austin E&Y awards; both on a local and national level. I was recognized in the 1999 Digital South Magazine List of "Most Influential People In the South's New Economy" and 2002 Forbes Magazine Midas List of the "Top 100 Technology Venture Investors (technology's top 100 dealmakers)", to name a few.
With almost 30 years of business experience, I have been involved in all aspects of business: company formation, board oversight, day-to-day operations, and liquidity exits. My entrepreneurial endeavors have lead to the creation of over $1.5B in shareholder value at time of exit. In 1989, I founded Tivoli Systems that was the catalyst for what became a $12B Enterprise Systems Management market. In 1996, after a successful IPO, Tivoli was acquired by IBM. I later founded DAZEL Corporation, which quickly became the acknowledged market leader in Output Management, before being acquired by Hewlett-Packard. I also co-founded Ventix Systems, which later merged with Motive Communications and went public. I spent nearly 6 years in the venture capitalist industry with Austin Ventures, as a Venture Partner, and with TL Ventures, as a Managing Director. In addition, I have held senior technical and executive management positions with Cesura, VIEO, IBM, Prime Computer, Applix, and Kodak.
