For Partners: lower the cost of care for the people you cover
If you pay for people’s care — as a self-insured employer, a broker advising one, or a public agency — your highest-cost claims are usually orthopedic and spine procedures, and they’re unpredictable. Direct contracting replaces opaque hospital pricing with a single, transparent, bundled rate negotiated up front, which can cut those high-cost surgical claims substantially. This hub explains how it works and what it means for employers, brokers, and government plans — plus how Aptiva handles workers’ comp for employers with injured workers.
The problem you’re solving
One or two big surgical claims can wreck a plan’s year. Hospital bills arrive as separate charges — surgeon, facility, anesthesia, ancillary — each repriced through a PPO network, producing six-figure variability that’s hard to budget and harder to explain. Direct contracting fixes the pricing and the transparency at the same time.
