What is an Episode Benefit Plan?

Key Benefits for Employers

  • Overview
  • Predictable Costs
  • Aligned Incentives
  • Increased Employee Engagement
  • Multiple Levers for Cost Control
  • Episodes of Care encompass everything related to a medical condition—from diagnosis to recovery, or the management of a health condition—under one bundled payment. This removes the guesswork and surprises, replacing unpredictable bills with guaranteed pricing that covers all aspects of care.

    Key Benefits

Our Plans

Episode Benefit Plans offer key advantages over Narrow Network and Reference Based Pricing (RBP).

  • Cost Control and Predictability

    Unlike RBP plans that can result in unexpected bills, Episode Benefit Plans provide guaranteed prices for major healthcare episodes, allowing both employers and employees to know their costs upfront. This also differs from narrow networks which may have lower premiums but potential for higher costs if care is sought outside of the network.

  • Freedom of Choice

    While narrow network plans restrict provider options, and RBP plans may limit access if providers refuse the plan, Episode Benefit Plans allow you to choose any provider, putting you in control of your healthcare.

  • Transparency

    Episode Benefit Plans address the lack of transparency in healthcare pricing by disclosing the range of guaranteed episode prices for various providers, empowering informed decisions. RBP plans, on the other hand, can be complex to understand, and do not always provide clear cost information.

  • More Savings

    Episode benefit plans can lower employer and employee premium payments by 10% to 15%. The plans also offer incentives to encourage engagement in the consumption of health care services, which can drive another 10% – 15% in savings.

  • Simplicity

    Episode Benefit Plans simplify the health plan experience and help employees make informed decisions when choosing the site and provider of health care. RBP plans, by contrast, introduce complexity into healthcare decisions
