About CareUno
The Governed Global Surgery Channel
Who We Are
CareUno is a governed Global Center-of-Excellence platform built for U.S. self-funded employer health plans.
We create a structured international care channel that reduces the cost of high-cost elective surgery through fixed episode pricing, JCI-accredited hospital partners, and continuity oversight from surgery through recovery.
CareUno's translation engine maps international clinical documentation to US billing codes, generating compliant claims packets submitted through the employer's existing TPA. The infrastructure is built on HL7, FHIR, ICD-10, and CPT standards. Every case that runs through the system adds proprietary cross-border clinical data that makes the engine more accurate and harder to replicate.
Our focus: lower total episode cost, institutional-grade governance, and zero network disruption.
Our Team
Vaidehi Shettigar
Founder & Program Architect
Vaidehi brings 5+ years of healthcare operations experience across U.S. and India-based healthcare systems.
She holds a Master of Healthcare Administration from UNC Chapel Hill, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, and is completing an MBA in AI. CareUno is built on her direct experience navigating both sides of the U.S. – India health system gap.
Dr. Shruti Gada
Head of Operations
Shruti is a practicing physiotherapist and a clinical director with experience across orthopedic, neurological, cardiopulmonary, and oncological settings in Mumbai's tertiary care network.
Her hands-on background in post-surgical recovery and musculoskeletal rehabilitation directly informs CareUno's continuity and post-procedure oversight protocols.
Our Global Model
CareUno connects U.S. employer-sponsored plans to a governed network of internationally accredited hospitals in India. Every case is structured under a fixed episode price, coordinated through a defined governance framework, and supported by continuity protocols designed for the documentation and oversight standards U.S. plan administrators require. We are not a travel company. We are a managed care channel.
Current Stage
CareUno has confirmed its inaugural hospital network and is currently engaging select self-funded plan sponsors and benefits consultants for 2026 pilot structuring. We are accepting a limited number of early employer and consulting firm conversations.
