Care redirection
Members can use virtual care for routine needs instead of starting with high-cost access points.

Virtual Care Benefits That Help Self-Funded Employers Save Money.
Health Benefit Strategies helps employers redirect routine care away from costly claims while keeping current benefits, carriers, and broker relationships in place.
Why It Matters
Self-funded plans need a better front door for routine care.
When employees default to the ER, urgent care centers, or avoidable specialist visits, the health plan absorbs costs that could often be handled through a lower-cost virtual care pathway.
HBS adds a HIPAA-secure virtual care platform outside the health plan, giving members access to virtual primary care, urgent care, mental health, pharmacy, and weight health support before common needs become expensive claims.
The goal is simple: give members an easier way to get care and give plan sponsors a measurable cost-containment strategy they can document.
