About Imagine Health
We’re a different kind of healthcare company
offering a different kind of health plan.
At Imagine Health, we believe that in order to fix healthcare you need to give control back to people who actually pay for care: employers and their employees. It’s why we’ve designed a new kind of health plan — one that allows companies to take control of their healthcare spend and empowers members to make smarter healthcare decisions.
Here’s how it works:
Identify quality providers.
We use the power of independent data to uncover high-performing providers in your area and then establish direct-contract pricing with those providers using rates that are fair and reasonable.Drive members to the right care.
Armed with data, we guide members to quality care delivered by our high-performing partner hospitals and providers. This helps improve outcomes, avoid surprise bills and drive down costs.Control costs and protect members.
If members choose a provider not contracted with us, additional support kicks in, including built-in price protection and bill resolution services to protect members from healthcare overcharges.It all results in quality care at a lower cost.
Imagine that.
