, /PRNewswire/ -- Sidecar Health, a consumer-driven health insurance carrier on a mission to make quality health care accessible, proudly announces a first-of-its-kind pricing and patient access agreement with ProMedica, one of largest and most renowned health systems. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the ongoing effort to improve the overall patient experience and is a move toward a more consumer-centric and engaging health care standard. Many health insurance plans limit patients' choices, both by restricting who they can see through narrow networks and by requiring doctors to seek permission for certain treatments through prior authorizations.
Instead of focusing on delivering the care they know is best, doctors are often forced to navigate red tape and delays, leaving patients waiting for critical treatment. In contrast, Sidecar Health plans provide an innovative, network-free approach to health insurance, offering unparalleled choice and access. Members get a budget for the care they need and can use their benefits at providers they choose.
The model allows members to know exactly what their plan covers for all medical services, and when it costs less than what their plan pays, Sidecar Health shares savings with the patient. The company has re-wired health insurance to strip away complicated restrictions while adding much-needed price transparency. By putting care decisions back in the hands of doctors and offering actionable transparency, Sidecar Heal.
