Homestead Smart Health Plans

Benefits that are actually, well, beneficial. Welcome to Homestead, welcome to benefits designed with the member in mind.

Untangle yourself from unfair pricing. If your company doesn’t have a self-funded healthcare plan, you are almost certainly paying unnecessary costs to your carrier and provider. A partnership with us totally eliminates these constantly rising expenses.

Our approach to health benefits replaces paying discounts off of arbitrary, inflated charges with a fair and transparent method of bottom-up payments and a reference-based repricing methodology. Our goal is to strike the right balance between the actual provider costs and a fair margin above that cost, and continue growing our community of providers.

Introducing the "new normal" of health benefits: no network restrictions, no referrals, bigger savings, premier concierge service for all members, and full legal protection from surprise bills. Find out more at homesteadplans.com.

Homestead is the only fully-integrated RBR solution on the market. That means more time spent focused on the health of your organization. Find out more at homesteadplans.com.

At Homestead, we offer the only fully-integrated reference-based repricing solution, with the power to reduce health benefits spend by 20-30%. To find out more, visit us at homesteadplans.com, or send us a message.

As we continue to navigate these uncertain times, we send our sincerest thanks to all those on the front lines of COVID-19.

A message from our CEO:

So happy to support such a wonderful social enterprise!

From all of us here at Homestead...

Last week, members of our team had the opportunity to connect with a variety of decision makers for Pennsylvania charter schools. We were able to learn more about the challenges facing different administrations when it comes to advocating for their staff, as well as apply this information to our own strategies in tailoring our Smart Plans to unique self-insured organizations. We also got to enjoy student showcases and inspirational speeches from Dr. Steve Perry , PA State Rep. Bryan Cutler, and Secretary Pedro Rivera. An enormous Thank You to the hardworking members of PA Charter Schools for putting on such an incredible event! Photo Credit: Kristin York, PA Virtual Charter School

We’re proud to work with Woods Services and witness the incredible initiatives they’re able to enact for their employees. We’re inspired to see their leadership utilize the savings they’ve realized from a Homestead Smart Health Plan in a way that extends opportunities for employees. We look forward to continuing to serve our valued members and celebrate continued success with quality employee benefits!

Recently, our team had the opportunity to come together with contacts across the country for #SIIA2019, where we shared strategies on how to further empower employers opting to take a self-funded approach to benefits planning. We look forward to working with old and new partners to continue the evolution of our methodology featuring reference-based pricing and increased accessibility to quality healthcare. Also, a special congrats to Mr. McLean, the winner of the Homestead SIIA raffle! #benefits #healthcare #healthcarereform

We were thrilled to be counted among the speakers at Conner Strong & Buckelew's thought-provoking Reference Based Pricing seminar, where we discussed our strategies for leveling the playing field in healthcare cost and quality. The power is in the employers’ hands to disrupt the system, and we look forward to even more discussions into what this looks like for the future of healthcare. A giant thank you to everyone at Conner Strong and Woods Services for their work in putting together an incredible day at a beautiful space.

Reference-based pricing companies like Homestead protect our members from balance bills. http://bit.ly/2L9xxqp

Trendsetter isn't a word you typically use in the healthcare industry. But as employers are looking for better solutions - for both their people and purses - reference-based pricing and direct contracting are the new black. http://bit.ly/2OHhEuT

If you are an employee, you are likely paying more every year for your health benefits. You may also be seeing greater restrictions and tighter networks. If you aren’t seeing the increases, you should thank your employer, because they are. Our SMART plan utilizes reference-based pricing to keep costs fair and transparent for both our members and providers. http://bit.ly/RBPexplained

We’re thrilled to have the Convenient Care Association Retail Clinician Group in town, and even more excited that we were able to host some of the most forward-thinking retail health leaders for dinner at The Racquet Club of Philadelphia. We look forward to building relationships with others who are trying to ensure access to affordable, high-quality healthcare and, of course, squeeze in some court tennis along the way. Special thanks to the Racquet Club for hosting an incredible evening and impromptu matches! We’d also like to thank the representatives from MinuteClinic, RediClinic, The Little Clinic, Walgreens Healthcare Clinic, Walmart Care Clinics, Bellin Health, Froedtert Health, Optimized Care Network, Mobile Ears, and The Y Factor for joining us. #healthcare #philly
