俄亥俄州托莱多，2024年7月18日/PRNewswire/--Sidecar Health是一家以消费者为导向的健康保险运营商，其使命是提供优质的医疗保健服务，它骄傲地宣布与ProMedica（俄亥俄州最大和最知名的医疗系统之一）达成首个同类定价和患者接入协议。

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..

Giving patients and providers back control over care

让患者和提供者重新控制护理

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..

许多健康保险计划限制了患者的选择，既限制了他们通过狭窄的网络可以看到的人，又要求医生通过事先授权寻求某些治疗的许可。医生往往被迫处理繁文缛节和延误，让患者等待重症治疗，而不是专注于提供他们认为最好的护理。。

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.

相比之下，Sidecar健康计划为健康保险提供了一种创新的，无网络的方法，提供了无与伦比的选择和访问。会员可以获得所需护理的预算，并可以在他们选择的提供者那里使用他们的福利。该模型允许成员确切了解他们的计划涵盖的所有医疗服务，当费用低于他们的计划支付时，Sidecar Health会与患者分享节省的费用。

The company has re-wired health insurance to strip away complicated restrictions while adding much-needed price transparency..

该公司重新连接了健康保险，取消了复杂的限制，同时增加了急需的价格透明度。。

By putting care decisions back in the hands of doctors and offering actionable transparency, Sidecar Health empowers both providers and patients, allowing them to focus on what truly matters: delivering and receiving the best possible care. Doctors can focus solely on their patients' needs, free from the constraints of complex insurance regulations, and patients can confidently choose the right provider for them, knowing their costs are transparent and covered..

Sidecar Health通过将护理决策交回医生手中并提供可行的透明度，赋予提供者和患者权力，使他们能够专注于真正重要的事情：提供和接受尽可能最好的护理。医生可以只关注患者的需求，不受复杂保险法规的限制，患者可以自信地为自己选择正确的提供者，因为他们知道自己的费用是透明的，并且可以覆盖。。

Through advocacy programs and efforts addressing social determinants of health, ProMedica aligns seamlessly with the Sidecar Health goal to provide access to affordable and high-quality health care..
