BICMD about doctors

BICMD was created by two of the nation’s leading orthopedic surgeons, currently practicing at the Hospital for Special Surgery. These founders recognized the value of expert medical opinions (EMOs) and that the EMO market was led by companies providing opinions with limited to no transparency around the physician credentials. BICMD set out to provide patients with access to high quality EMOs, backed by the latest academic research and delivered by members of a “Best In Class” MD specialist network.

With access to the highest quality network of medical doctors in the country, our inside knowledge makes us the best choice to connect with experts and get peace of mind.

  • Our founders are physicians
  • Our executives are veteran healthcare business builders
  • Our medical advisors are MDs from U.S. News & World Report Top 10 Institutions
  • We’re funded by a group of doctors who are breaking down the silos of traditional healthcare systems
