Doctors pay $250 per month for ZocDoc, the service is free for patients.

ZocDoc is currently available in 11 metropolitan areas, six of which were launched in 2011 to date. There are more than 5.3 million available appointments with doctors and practitioners from among over 40 medical specialties. Over 700,000 patients use the service each month, according to the company.

Investors in the company also include Jeff Bezos, Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, Marc Benioff, and SV Angel. You can read ZocDoc CEO and Co-Founder Cyrus Massoumi’s blog post on the funding here.
