SEATTLE, WA – Proliance Surgeons, a leading specialty surgical group serving Washington state, continues to demonstrate its commitment to eliminating traditional barriers to accessing high-quality specialty healthcare through its comprehensive Value-Based Care programs. These established programs combine innovative payment models, direct-to-employer partnerships, and transparent self-pay pricing to ensure patients receive timely, affordable care when and where they need it most.
BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS TO CARE
At Proliance Surgeons, the organization understands the challenges patients face when accessing high-quality healthcare. To improve access, they offer same-day and next-day appointments—both virtually and in person—through their extensive network of specialists. In addition, Proliance Surgeons operates multiple orthopedic urgent care centers throughout Washington—where patients can walk in and be seen by an orthopedic specialist or surgeon without delay—and now offers a direct-to-consumer telemedicine solution for urgent care needs through their new 24/7 online access platform. “Our Value-Based Care team is dedicated to implementing strategies and innovative models that make it easier for patients to see our specialists,” said Troy Simonson, Chief Executive Officer of Proliance Surgeons. “We’re committed to removing the traditional barriers that prevent people from accessing the care they need.”PATIENT BUNDLES AND DIRECT-TO-EMPLOYER PARTNERSHIPS
A cornerstone of Proliance Surgeons’ approach has been prospective patient bundles – an innovative payment model where healthcare services related to specific treatments are combined into one bundled payment. Under this system, patients benefit from simplified billing, improved efficiency, and transparent pricing. Proliance Surgeons offers these bundles through Direct-to-Employer (DTE) models that allow self-funded employers to work directly with healthcare providers to design health plans for their employees, bypassing traditional insurance barriers.
Proliance Surgeons maintains three strategic external partnerships that provide the following benefits to employers and patients:
- Direct network access that connects employers with healthcare providers while eliminating middleman costs and offering transparently priced medical services.
- Comprehensive care coordination through these unified platforms that deliver local urgent care, primary care, musculoskeletal services, surgery coordination, and clinical guidance with improved patient satisfaction and outcomes.
- Expert specialty care via nationwide networks that uphold rigorous care standards and eliminate patient billing complexities while providing warranties and accountability measures.
TRANSPARENT SELF-PAY PRICING
Recognizing that healthcare costs should be transparent and predictable, Proliance Surgeons has launched comprehensive self-pay pricing packages. These solutions are tailored for individuals with high insurance deductibles, out-of-network insurance, or those without coverage. The self-pay packages offer a comprehensive single-visit experience including thorough injury history discussion, detailed physical examination, personalized care plan, and x-ray if necessary – all with upfront, transparent pricing and no surprise charges.
COMMITMENT TO INNOVATION AND ACCESS
By partnering with innovative platforms and creating direct pathways to care, the organization is improving patient access, delivering high-quality specialty care, and enhancing convenience for both employers and individuals.
“We’re not just treating patients; we’re transforming how healthcare is delivered,” Troy continued. “Our partnerships and innovative programs ensure that whether someone needs urgent access to a specialist or an employer wants to provide better healthcare benefits for their workforce, we have solutions that work.”
