What The Zero Card Offers
The Zero Card methodological approach provides a platform to synthesize and analyze data in an objective manner on behalf of health institutions and employer purchasers. Furthermore, and importantly, the insights derived from the Zero Card process allows organizations to make efficient, impact-driven, member focused decisions for consumers. The company’s direct contracts lock in fair market prices that benefits all three parties in the employer-based healthcare delivery system: the plan member, the employer and the provider. It is a frictionless program that an employer installs as a supplemental plan to the underlying health plan. The Zero Card is a voluntary program, so covered members can still access care through traditional employer programs — but when a member uses The Zero Card, the employer saves money and the member receives necessary care for $0.
