Hi there, thanks for visiting our page.

TPAFS is the github moniker of Persius.

Our mission is to advocate for patients, end injustices and improve systems in US healthcare.

We do this by

• Building digital tools and software to lower the barriers consumers face (e.g. https://persius.org).
• Acquiring and maintaining data that allow people to access opaque but vital information (e.g. https://github.com/TPAFS/transparency-data, and https://github.com/TPAFS/public-records).
• Analyzing and modeling such data (e.g. https://github.com/TPAFS/investigations).
• Reporting on barriers, prevalent behaviors, policy, and perverse incentives plaguing the health industry (e.g. https://blog.persius.org/ and https://blog.persius.org/investigations).

We need all the help we can get, and would appreciate your support in any form.

Please reach out with questions, comments, critiques, suggestions, or to express interest in getting involved.
