How the HFPN’s Direct-to-Employer Plan Works for Your Business and Employees

What is a Direct-to Employer Healthcare Plan?

A direct-to-employer (D2E) plan effectively connects a healthcare organization and its providers directly with the employers’ benefits/HR department to co-create a medical plan that is best suited for its employees, their dependents and the business’ financial obligation.

Through the Henry Ford Physician Network’s (HFPN) customized healthcare plan, you, as the employer, can provide your employees with a robust and high-value health plan, while also gaining insight into how you can positively impact overall healthcare costs.

For years, Henry Ford Health and the HFPN have led the way in Southeast Michigan for value-based D2E contracting, achieving greater health outcomes for employees along with their positive feedback, while also generating substantial savings for the employer.

HFPN Providers and Facilities

Because the HFPN is a clinically integrated network comprised of physician organizations – including the Henry Ford Medical Group – along with hundreds of independent specialists and primary care physicians throughout Southeast Michigan, it offers an expansive network. This network of more than 2,000 providers is offered to enrollees in D2E contracts, along with the power and prestige of Henry Ford Health, a national leader in many specialties, including cancer diagnosis/treatment, cardiovascular health, neurology and neurosurgery, ENT, orthopedics, urology, transplant, research and more. Additionally, any D2E health plan includes in-network access to all Henry Ford Health hospitals, medical centers, urgent care facilities, same-day clinics, labs, radiology services, etc.

Concierge-level Service

As part of the D2E health plan structure, enrollees have a designated concierge service to help them navigate their health plan, which can include helping them select a provider, schedule an appointment, answer coverage questions or initiate a waiver process.

Why Choose a Plan with the HFPN?

This HFPN direct-to-employer plan offers your employees world-class care options that can improve their overall health and wellbeing, while simultaneously giving you real control to help manage rising healthcare costs. In most cases, employers are able to reduce healthcare premiums paid by employees who select this healthcare option.
