Hillcrest HealthCare System Joins Nomi Health's Direct Network

Tulsa employers gain direct access to a comprehensive care network with zero out-of-pocket costs for employees

TULSA, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nomi Health today announced a strategic partnership with Hillcrest HealthCare System that will redefine how Tulsa-area citizens access healthcare through innovative employer benefits. Through this partnership, employers will lower their healthcare costs while giving employees access to comprehensive medical care across Hillcrest’s extensive network—including eight hospitals, more than 80 care sites, and 6,400+ team members—with zero out-of-pocket costs.

The partnership addresses a critical challenge facing businesses: skyrocketing healthcare premiums that reached $25,572 annually for employer-sponsored family coverage in 2024, representing a 7% year-over-year increase that continues to outpace both inflation and wage growth.

“Healthcare costs are severely impacting families, jobs, and entire communities,” said Mark Newman, CEO of Nomi Health. “Our new relationship with Hillcrest reimagines how healthcare works—where employees can access care without financial barriers and employers can invest in their people, not rising healthcare expenses.”

By combining Nomi Health’s innovative direct-contracting model with Hillcrest’s trusted regional network—which serves approximately 1.6 million patients annually—the partnership creates an unprecedented healthcare solution for the Oklahoma market.

“We’re excited to partner with Nomi Health to leverage its direct-to-employer contracting model, providing our community with greater access to affordable, high-quality healthcare,” said Dr. Guy Sneed, Chief Medical Officer of Hillcrest HealthCare System. “By eliminating financial barriers and streamlining access to our comprehensive medical services, we are committed to improving patient outcomes and enhancing the overall healthcare experience for our employees. With Nomi Health, we are setting a new standard for healthcare delivery in Tulsa, ensuring that our patients receive necessary care without the burden of high out-of-pocket costs.”

This partnership represents a significant step toward rebuilding healthcare in Oklahoma. By aligning healthcare delivery with direct contracting, Nomi Health and Hillcrest are creating a model that prioritizes communities and the people they serve.
