Benefits of Bundled Payment Programs for Employers

Reduce Total Cost of Care
Bundled payments for women’s health consolidate all aspects of an episode of care into a single, fixed price for all related services. Providers, facilities, and payers participating in the bundled payments know reimbursement rates in advance.
Improve Quality and Patient Outcomes
Patients are directed to the most appropriate care sites based on their needs, and providers in the network are measured on care quality. Fixed reimbursements also incentivize providers to minimize preventable complications.

Benefits of Bundled Payment Programs for Your Employees
Access to Concierge-Level Services
Employees get treatment in a Center of Excellence, with coordinated care among the providers in the network for a more streamlined care experience. Every aspect of care is patient-centered to ensure the best experience and increase member satisfaction with the benefits plan.
Lower Out-of-Pocket Costs
Employers can set out-of-pocket costs for employees who get care through the bundled payments program, and may even choose to eliminate those costs entirely. Patients can avoid the confusing maze of copayments and deductibles for multiple providers and facilities in an episode of care.
Proven Outcomes and High-Quality Care
Patients get access to a highly vetted network of the best women’s health providers in the area, ensuring high-quality care and optimal outcomes for common procedures, including maternity care and gynecologic surgery.
