How can employees trust your recommendation? i.e. why should they believe that you are steering them towards high quality low cost providers instead of low quality low cost providers? Why should they believe in the quality of your recommendations?
Thank you so much!! We contract directly with the medical providers so we know the prices. The best providers want more patients and have been really receptive.
I'm sorry but "free medical care" is just click-bait--TANSTAAFL, and all that. Medical care will continue to get more and more expensive as long as the government, massive insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies with monopolies over production, etc. continue to dominate medicine.
This is one case of "I'll believe it when I see it."
EDIT: I didn't notice this at first, but the first paragraph of the TechCrunch article says "workers of the world," so this wild dream isn't limited to the US, it seems.
Free medical care in this case means that an individual with health insurance would NOT need to pay the additional out-of-pocket costs associated with a procedure or test. This out of pocket component is comprised of the deductible, copay, and coinsurance. Currently, if you have insurance and get a $5,000 procedure, you have to pay several thousand after the fact. CareLedger rewards the individual for going to a high quality, cost effective doctor and facility -- in this case free care.
Don't want to get too political but you do realize that the USA has the most expensive healthcare and the least amount of government involvement? And the worst outcomes.
