“Our integrated model uses new technology to connect members to high-value care partners and increase member engagement. We have demonstrated that our model works in local markets across the United States to drive better health outcomes and reduced costs. We are excited to expand access to this model to even more consumers through our employer-sponsored offerings, where we believe we can have a significant impact on providing simple, personal and affordable coverage options for employers and their employees,” said Jeff Zavada, president of Employer Solutions at Bright HealthCare.
