How
Basix Programs Work
Basix programs are simple—simple for consumers, providers, and clients.
Consumers
Consumers access information about their specific Basix program and providers
from a web site. In some cases, this information may also be
provided in print. Generally, the consumer presents their health plan card
to the provider at the time of service—eliminating the need for a
separate Basix program card. The consumer then pays the discounted rate
directly to
the provider at the time of service.
Providers
Providers benefit from
direct payment at the time of service, eliminating the overhead cost
of billing and insurance paperwork. Moreover,
providers are
able to fill their schedules and build their clientele.
Clients
We create
value by negotiating preferred prices with providers of non-covered goods
and services. At the same time, we avoid the expense
of
claims payment and underwriting risk, resulting in exceptional value
for both members
and health plans. Additionally, we provide turnkey solutions, or work
with your staff to provide just the portion of our service that you
need. For
example, some of our clients prefer to add the program to their existing
website and
just contract with Basix for network development and operation.
