Direct to Employer Health Insurance

Empowering Employers Through Partnership

Direct-to-Employer health insurance, also called "direct contracting", empowers employers to procure healthcare services directly from healthcare systems on behalf of their covered employees. This proactive strategy proves advantageous for both employers and employees alike. By engaging directly with local, high-quality healthcare providers, employers enhance the efficiency and affordability of healthcare benefits for their workforce while elevating the quality of care they receive. Direct-to-Employer health insurance not only provides the potential for greater control over pricing but also offers valuable insights into the quality of care delivered.

Quality Health Partners of Southern Illinois (QHP) is excited to partner with you and develop a product to meet your needs. Please reach out to us at Direct_to_Employer@sih.net.
