Introduction to Care Coordination | Clearwater Health

It’s no secret that healthcare in America is expensive. The average premium for single coverage in 2022? $7,911 per year. For family coverage? Bump that to $22,463.

But despite the enormous costs, quality service isn’t always a given. 

A 2022 study examining global healthcare spending by country found that the U.S. spent more on healthcare as an overall share of the economy, but had the lowest life expectancy of a cohort of 13 peer countries. In other words, even though we spend more of our money on healthcare, we get worse care than people in other countries.

Americans also had fewer physician visits than peers in most countries.

Often, higher healthcare costs are the main reason why Americans put off doctor visits. In a 2022 Gallup poll, 38% reported delaying medical care for themselves or their families because of cost—a record high.

But it’s not just costs. The U.S. healthcare system is increasingly difficult to navigate

How do you find the doctors that give great care? How do you make sure you’re not being overcharged?

 

 

Finding quality healthcare providers can take a lot of time and effort.

 

 

Introducing Care Coordination

 

 

A service from Clearwater Benefits

 

 

At Clearwater, we don’t think you need to choose between your health and your wallet.

You deserve lower monthly and out-of-pocket costs, better healthcare, and help navigating the healthcare system.

One way we provide this? With our Care Coordination service. 

Unique to Clearwater, this dedicated, white glove resource helps you find high-quality, fair priced providers for the treatment and services you need. We do the research and legwork, saving you time, too.

And when you use the providers we recommend?

Your out-of-pocket costs are waived, and you’ll get your care for free. 

That’s right.

Free.

Everyone’s favorite price.

 

 

Here's how it works

 

 

Sometimes, you might need to schedule medical tests or procedures. These can include:

  • X-rays
  • CT scans
  • Other medical imaging
  • Blood tests
  • Urine and stool tests
  • Minor procedures
  • Major surgeries

Care Coordination can make all of this easier and even free. First, you contact Care Coordination when you know you’ll need labs, imaging, or a procedure.

Our Care Coordination team does the research, searching our networks to identify affordable, trustworthy options. 

We’ll find you a recommended provider, and when you use their services, your out-of-pocket patient responsibility costs can be waived.

It’s that simple.

Allow us to find you the best provider for your care needs, and not only will you save money, you’ll be able to focus instead on your health—not healthcare bureaucracy.
