MILWAUKEE, March 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Access
HealthNet, a Milwaukee-based
startup and direct contracting solution for self-funded employers
announced a partnership with Charlotte-based Direct Primary Care
(DPC) technology platform company, Beacon HealthCare Benefits.
"Providing the DPC community with as many strategic and
competitive tools for surviving in the free-market healthcare
ecosystem is close to our mission at Access HealthNet," said
Eric Haberichter, co-founder and CEO
at Access HealthNet. "We're looking forward to offering our direct
contracting platform to all of the Beacon DPCs and helping lower
the cost of healthcare for employers."
DPC practices, similar to concierge medicine practices that were
previously reserved for the privileged, offer one-on-one primary
care with independent physicians. The challenges in this new model
of primary care medicine is aggregating data and vendors in one
place.
Beacon HealthCare Benefits, an innovative proprietary
cloud-based platform, seamlessly connects independent primary care
physicians and self-funded employers through a technology solution
called Beacon Health Connect.
"Beacon's 'Connect' merges people and technology to offer direct
primary care that fits into a membership model," said Eirc Kirsch, Beacon HealthCare Benefits founder
and CEO. "AHN's bundled services are the perfect complement and
provides our members with better services at lower prices. We
expect to see dramatic savings for employers on ancillary services
like imaging and lab."
Beacon Health Connect serves as an interoperability engine that
connects contracted DPCs and their channel partners to brokers and
other healthcare distributors. The platform allows the combining of
records and consolidation of billing, helping self-funded employers
realize the savings and improved care with DPC partnerships.
Access HealthNet's direct contracting platform will serve as an
additional tool to bring savings and value to the Beacon Health
Connect program with 20-30% total savings on common procedures.
