Free Market Medical Association

Our Goal is to bring together buyers and sellers of healthcare good and services - while reducing costs and increasing quality. Cash is cash.

ABOUT THE FMMA
The FMMA is a non-partisan association that provides resources, support, and education to our members, and to the public, about the free market movement and why it is so important. We help to defend and expand the practice of free market medicine against the interference and intrusion of the government or other third parties. PILLARS OF THE FREE MARKET
Due to the wildly varying definitions of transparency and free market in this industry, many of which are neither free market or transparent, the FMMA has designated these pillars as the foundation of the Association. Our members are asked to always abide by these pillars; using ethics and transparency in all areas of their businesses. The Free Market works when there is freedom of choice. Price - PRICE is NOT a product, the CARE is the product. Selling access to pricing is anti-free market

Value - VALUE is established when the buyer and seller agree on a mutually beneficial price for care. Equality - Price EQUALITY is the basis of a free market. Any willing buyer should be offered the same price regardless of any factor. Go to fmma.org to learn more about the benefits of becoming a member!

Last month, FMMA Co-Founder Dr. Keith Smith testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Aging, speaking to lawmakers about how transparent, market-driven care delivers better outcomes and lower costs for patients.

In his remarks, Dr. Smith clearly and passionately articulated FMMA's purpose: to return medicine to patients and physicians through honest pricing and direct exchange.

“To the industry big shots, or as I call them, the cartel, the healthcare system in this country isn’t broken—it is working precisely as designed, meant to enrich the corporate elite and intermediaries at the expense of patients and the American people at large.”

His testimony underscored what FMMA members across the country already know: when buyers and sellers in healthcare can meet directly, prices fall, quality rises, and patients win.

FMMA continues to advocate for transparency, competition, and value: principles that put people, not bureaucracy, at the center of care.

A Milestone Moment for Price Transparency in Oklahoma!

Earlier this week, Governor Kevin Stitt celebrated the implementation of Oklahoma’s new Hospital Price Transparency law. This law will enforce hospital price transparency rules, making it easier for Oklahomans to compare costs and utilize free market principles to make informed choices about care.

Two of our founders, Dr. Keith Smith and Jay Kempton, were honored to stand alongside the Governor at this historic announcement. A new online tool has launched that allows people to search for any service or procedure at any hospital statewide. https://bit.ly/43q5lYb

We also want to thank PatientRightsAdvocate.org for their tireless efforts to make true medical price transparency a reality across the country.

Our executive director, Matt Ohrt, joined the Take Charge with HELPcare Podcast to discuss “Cutting Costs, Not Care.”

Healthcare is one of the largest and most frustrating line items in any company budget. Premiums keep rising, often without explanation, leaving business leaders and HR professionals with two bad options: absorb the extra costs or pass them on to employees.

Matt explains how free-market medicine helps companies deliver better healthcare for employees while dramatically lowering costs.

HELPcare empowers people to take charge of their health, their healthcare, and their careers in the healthcare industry. We appreciate the opportunity and the great conversation!
