Transforming access to excellent care

Transforming access to excellent care

Guided access for the moments that matter most

We are on a mission to transform access to excellent care for the moments that matter most. As a market-leading healthcare services business, we provide high-quality and cost-efficient solutions for self-funded employers and their employees. Our solutions transform healthcare for our members, facilitating access to top-quality care at fair prices nationwide.  

We rigorously vet providers at the individual level, creating a comprehensive national network of care that is within reach of every member we support.

 

With the complication rate for major surgeries at 8-10%¹, and the misdiagnosis rate for some cancers rising as high as 28%, connecting patients with the best, most appropriate provider, and keeping them as close to home as possible, is more important than ever before. 

 

Not only do we steer members to the best care available, we guide them through their journey and into recovery.
