27

The Premier Health Partners Review thoroughly analyzes the company’s health insurance plans. The following sections cover the Access Gap Cover, the Work plan structure, the Discounts offered, and the quality of care. The reviews are based on anonymous employee ratings. The company’s reputation is mainly positive, and most employees recommend the company.

Access Gap Cover

Health Partners’ Access Gap Cover helps patients with the cost of a specialist’s in-hospital procedure. It helps reduce personal expenses and simplifies the billing process. Medicare sets a standard fee for medical procedures, known as the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS). However, specialists can set their fees, varying significantly from the MBS fee. As a result, a patient’s out-of-pocket cost is the difference. This difference is known as the gap payment.

Discounts offered

Health Partners provides members with a wide variety of discounts. These benefits include discounts at restaurants, stores, and other service providers. HealthPartners members can also save on prescriptions, eyeglasses, and other goods and services. These discounts are easy to obtain. Members must present their HealthPartners member ID card at participating retailers to receive the discounts.

Quality of care

Quality Healthcare Partners has been named the third best place to work in America by Inc. Magazine, a national publication that ranks the fastest-growing small businesses. The company’s employees are engaged in community outreach programs that help those in need. In 2011, the company contributed a significant amount of money to charities that benefit the lives of healthcare patients.

The company’s mission is to support primary care physicians in achieving five-star quality ratings. To help them reach this goal, Quality Healthcare Partners places a clinical quality team within their practices. The team manages each provider’s documentation, coding, and administrative requirements. They also close quality gaps and complete annual wellness visits.

Quality Healthcare Partners has also been recognized for its excellent workplace culture and employee benefits. In October 2013, the organization was named one of the region’s “Future50” award winners. The award recognizes the top 50 fastest-growing companies in Greater Baltimore.
