By GlobalDataThe company stated that the employers can design the health plans which waive deductibles and coinsurance for all Flume Community visits by participants through Flume Health platform.
This allows patients to pay the amount which they owe during service.
The providers will also benefit from reduced billing cycle and fair payment rates as part of the Flume Community.
NextCare Managed Care vice president Thom Palmer said: “Self-funded employers that Flume serves in Texas run the gamut of industry, including a law firm and a landscaping company.
“These businesses want to offer their employees improved benefits, to attract and retain workers, and because it’s the right thing to do.
“This agreement is the first big step toward expanding into all of our 156 locations in 11 states as we continue to seek new ways to provide more access and affordability to people in urgent times of medical need.”
