A new report published by an independent risk management consulting firm, Milliman, commissioned by Nice Healthcare, shows that the Nice Healthcare’s integrated healthcare model addresses services that are used by 89% of healthcare utilizers in a typical large employer commercial health benefit plan, based on a study of historical data. The data underlying the research included 58 million member months of exposure and more than $28 billion in allowed claims.
“Our focus is on how we can bring better access at an affordable price to small businesses,” says Thompson Aderinkomi, CEO of Nice Healthcare. “Our model also provides support to health plans by being the first line of care enabling providers to only see the patients who need them most.”
Using a mix of technology, logistics, and expert clinical care, Nice Healthcare brings a fully integrated clinic to the patient, providing in-home and virtual primary care, mental health therapy, physical therapy, and medications. The service is a direct-to-employer benefit and can help health plans avoid high-dollar claims and wasteful care.
Aligned with Nice’s mission of accessible services, the study found that the services Nice can address make up the majority of healthcare costs typically incurred at urgent care facilities or via telehealth.
With Nice, you can get a visit, labs, x-rays and more right in your home. Nice also offers virtual visits, giving patients quick answers to their healthcare questions without relying on insurance, networks, or scheduling around busy work days.
