How This National Security Company Increased High Quality Care Utilization and Achieved Cost Savings
In today’s complex healthcare environment, it’s a significant challenge to provide high quality healthcare while also achieving cost savings. Employers, who bear the brunt of healthcare costs these days, are constantly trying to figure out how to navigate this challenge.
Back in 2021, Peraton’s benefits team identified a critical issue: Their members were not receiving the best possible care for complex conditions and procedures like joint replacements, cancer, and cardiovascular disease.
Without the expert guidance needed to find high quality care for these serious health concerns, members were making healthcare decisions (e.g., choosing a provider) based on convenience or quality, which often led to care that was either substandard or not needed at all.
The result? Poorer health outcomes and higher bills for both Peraton and their members.
Seeking a solution
Peraton began the search for a new value-based centers of excellence (COE) partner. After a rigorous search, they chose Carrum Health for our ability to integrate with Peraton’s existing health benefits ecosystem—Carrum’s partnership with Hinge allows for a smooth implementation process—our willingness (and eagerness) to collaborate with other vendors, and the empathetic and personalized care provided by Carrum’s top-tier care navigators.
Peraton launched all of Carrum’s service lines (MSK, cardiac, bariatric, and cancer care) in January of 2022.
