Affordable, Unlimited Direct Primary Care Will Simplify How Manhattan Utilizes Healthcare

Healthcare2u Expands its Visionary No-Claims Healthcare™ to New York City

May 16, 2018 – Manhattan, New York – Healthcare2U’s No-Claims Healthcare™ is now available in Manhattan. Brokers and employers interested in cost-containment healthcare strategies now have an innovative alternative to health insurance. Known as the eighth most expensive state for healthcare spending per capita as of 2014, New York spends 20 percent more than the national average on insurance. Healthcare2U’s entrance into New York’s most acclaimed community provides residents access to inventive Direct Primary Care that challenges New York’s costly status-quo.

“Manhattan residents are demanding cost-effective healthcare that doesn’t involve insurance as a middle man,” said Andy Bonner, CEO of Healthcare2U. “They deserve simplified, high-quality healthcare coverage and Healthcare2U can deliver just that at a monthly price that is less expensive than a monthly subscription to The Wall Street Journal. With Healthcare2U’s membership-based model, members receive unlimited access to primary care they deserve, at a reasonable price.”

Rather than dealing with the price tag and administration of traditional health insurance, Healthcare2U reduces costs through their Direct Primary Care claims-avoidant membership. This membership provides employees access to unlimited same-day/next-day doctor appointments for acute issues for a $10 visit fee, and access to telemedicine practitioners 24/7/365 for no additional charge. In addition to acute primary care, Healthcare2U offers chronic disease management for 13 of the most prevalent disease states such as diabetes, hypertension, and asthma at the same $10 visit fee. Healthcare2U physicians also practice generic-first protocols to reduce pharmaceutical spend for employers and their employees.

“In addition to providing healthcare at an economical price, Healthcare2U establishes a trusting physician-patient connection,” affirms Dr. John Rodriguez, Healthcare2U’s Chief Medical Officer. “We pride ourselves in delivering a personalized experience where patients are the priority and are thoroughly cared for, physically and financially.”

Healthcare2U’s No-Claims Healthcare™ understands the inequitable demands traditional health insurance requires and provides opportunities to conserve finances while receiving health coverage that exceeds expectations.

Healthcare2U’s Latest Expansion Introduces Three Orlando Clinics in Response to the Demand for Direct Primary Care

Direct Primary Care Legislation Passes in the Sunshine State Just in Time for the Growth of  No-Claims Healthcare™

 

May 08, 2018 – Orlando, FL – Healthcare2U’s new physician partnership in Orlando, Florida adds three new clinics to their national proprietary Private Physician Network (PPN)™. Healthcare2U is the nation’s fastest-growing integrated Direct Primary Care organization with more than 230 clinics nationwide. This expansion follows the passing of House Bill 37 by Florida Governor, Rick Scott. House Bill 37 claims that since Direct Primary Care is not health insurance, providers are not required to be regulated as an insurance company. Therefore, Direct Primary Care agreements do not infringe on the state’s insurance laws. This approved legislation encouraged Healthcare2U to expand its No-Claims Healthcare™ coverage to more employers and employees in the Florida market.

“Healthcare2U is rapidly expanding in response to the demand for affordable and convenient healthcare,” said Andy Bonner, CEO of Healthcare2U. “Direct Primary Care saves employers and their employees thousands of dollars on prescriptions, time-sensitive consultations, and chronic disease management while providing high-quality, affordable healthcare that Floridian workers deserve.”

Healthcare2U delivers membership-based healthcare on a national scale through its proprietary Private Physician Network™. Within these clinics, Healthcare2U provides same-day and next-day doctor appointments for acute issues at $10 a visit and around-the-clock telemedicine for $0 out-of-pocket cost. In addition to unlimited same-day/next-day acute visits, Healthcare2U’s mission is to also diagnose and treat disease states through their partner clinics, saving employers and their employees on specialist-care claims. Therefore, Healthcare2U physician partners agree to treat 13 of the most prevalent disease states for the same $10 visit fee. Physician partners also agree to practice generic-first protocols to reduce pharmaceutical costs for employers and their employees.

“Healthcare2U’s priority is to provide affordable coverage for employers and a meaningful patient-physician relationship for employees,” said Dr. John Rodriguez, Healthcare2U’s Chief Medical Officer. “Our physician partners are earnest to build a relationship with their patients to deliver time-sensitive, personalized care that improves an employee’s overall state of health. With Healthcare2U, the patient-physician connection exceeds all expectations and is the foundation of our Direct Primary Care program’s success.”

Healthcare2U’s Direct Primary Care offerings push to change how employers and their employees interact with healthcare, and through its efforts, primary care is evolving into an accessible and personal system nationwide.

Healthcare2U Brings Competition to Hamilton County Healthcare Coverage

No-Claims Healthcare Coverage Now Available in the Greater Chattanooga Area

February 13, 2018 Chattanooga, TN — Healthcare2U has expanded its offerings to serve the Chattanooga and greater Cleveland, TN area. With Healthcare2U’s arrival, employers and their employees now have access to a unique approach to health coverage offering a no-claims model that caps an employers’ cost.

“Demand from local employers and health insurance brokers is driving the expansion of Healthcare2U’s low-cost primary care plans in the Chattanooga area,” said Andy Bonner, CEO of Healthcare2U. “Our research tells us that Hamilton County is served by only one insurance issuer, limiting healthcare options. We’re bringing an exceptionally competitive model to this market to ensure employers and their employees have a real choice in their healthcare coverage offerings.”

Employee members can access doctor appointments for a $10 visit fee as well as telemedicine practitioners 24 hours a day, seven days a week at $0 out-of-pocket expense. Healthcare2U also covers more than just primary care; membership includes chronic disease management for the 13 most prevalent disease states so members with pre-existing chronic conditions – like diabetes, hypertension, and asthma – can take advantage of Healthcare2U’s low-cost care for the same $10 visit fee. Members also receive patient navigation assistance through Healthcare2U’s triage line and Private Physician Network (PPN) of more than 220 clinics nationwide.

Dr. John Rodriguez, Healthcare2U’s chief medical officer, said, “Unfortunately, the Hamilton County experience isn’t all that unique. Nearly three million Americans face limited options in their hometowns, and the lack of competition means costs can rise without any options for healthcare consumers. Healthcare2U delivers a membership-based model where no insurance claims are filed for doctor visits against a member company’s health plan. Our model brings high-quality, comprehensive care at an amazing price.”

Our model delivers on both those attributes and does so without claim filings. That’s why physician practices like Dr. Hussain’s are joining.

Healthcare2U’s 210 clinics across the United States represent one of the nation’s fastest-growing direct primary care networks. The company works with healthcare brokers and businesses to provide a comprehensive suite of services which include acute care, disease management, wellness and telemedicine that keep costs low due to their no-claims structure while promoting healthy workforces.

Healthcare2U Brings Competition to the Louisiana Healthcare Marketplace

Low Cost, High-Quality Direct Primary Care Concierge Model Continues to Win Over Physicians in Time of Healthcare Uncertainty

November 1, 2017 AUSTIN, Texas – Healthcare2U continues to expand in Louisiana providing more healthcare options while growing its Private Physician Network (PPN) with the addition of a new primary care partnership in New Orleans. With the addition of Dr. Joseph Mather, Healthcare2U provides more competition and options into the health insurance marketplace. A recent study conducted by the American Medical Association sheds light on a lack of healthcare insurance competition in ten states, including Louisiana.

Dr. Mather is the latest physician to partner with Healthcare2U’s rapidly growing PPN of more than 200 locations nationwide. Clinics like Dr. Mather’s provide medical care, wellness and chronic disease management for patients, all within Heathcare2U’s low cost, high-quality model. Others include Dr. Christopher Lee in Baton Rouge and the Fairfield Family Clinic in Shreveport.

“Two of the largest health insurers in the country now control more than 80 percent of the health insurance market in Louisiana, said Andy Bonner, president, and CEO of Healthcare2U. “The result has been a steady increase in the employee share of annual premium costs. Healthcare2U’s ten dollars per visit fee for an unlimited number of visits for comprehensive and high-quality care is sure to be a welcome disruption to this existing monopoly,” Bonner said.

Healthcare2U, with more than 200 clinics across the United States, operates one of the nation’s fastest-growing direct primary care networks. The company works with health care brokers and businesses to provide a comprehensive suite of custom group health plans to help keep costs low while promoting healthy workforces.

“Physicians like Dr. Mather become doctors to help people, not manage paperwork,” said Dr. John Rodriguez, Chief Medical Officer of Healthcare2U.  “Unfortunately, physicians face lost time and money dealing with complicated insurance processes that include thousands of insurance codes. Healthcare2U’s no claim process allows doctors to focus on their patients, while our concierge service connects them with patients who need and want care right away. It’s a big win-win.”

Through Healthcare2U’s simple membership-based model, no insurance claims are filed for doctor visits against the company’s health plan. Employee members can access doctor appointments for a $10 visit fee along with telemedicine practitioners 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Healthcare2U members with chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and asthma can also take advantage of Healthcare2U’s low cost, concierge-style care.
