+ Are you a health insurance company?

Instead of paying premiums to the insurance company, you retain ownership of your funds and we take care of all of the details of managing the healthcare claims that arise within your plan.
+ How does the relationship work between Willow Health and my company?
You are the plan owner, and we are your plan executors. We operate on your behalf, helping your employees enjoy their health benefits so they have a positive experience. We also work with the myriad of providers on a daily basis to foster a win-win relationship between you and them. We also are your trusted advisor, offering our expertise in benefits consulting to help you achieve a plan optimized for your unique needs.
+ In which states will my employees be covered?
We can manage plans covering employees in any state.
+ Are there any types of benefits you do not deal with?
We can shape a plan for you which includes any and all of the typical coverages health benefit plans offer such as Medical, Dental, Vision.
+ How much does it cost?
Willow Health provides the full suite of services needed to design, operate and manage a self-funded health benefits plan. We will gladly provide an estimate of the cost/benefit potential for your company based on our consultation with you.
+ What kind of economic gains are possible with Willow Health?
Year 1 savings for those changing from insurance-based coverage to self-funded, health benefits can typically range from 10 to 30 percent of overall costs. Beyond those initial savings, year over year savings can be achieved by controlling the cost curve for health benefits, by aligning cost increases to inflation and not to the broader healthcare industry. In some cases, companies can hold premiums constant while offering employees more benefits.
+ What happens to my employees if I switch to Willow Health?
We recognize the challenges posed to any company that changes its health benefits plan. We have the tools, processes and people which make the transition smooth, especially those critical communications and training sessions to prepare your employees to utilize the new plan. Additionally, we specialize in Customer Service so that your employees can turn to us at any time for information and assistance. We help everyone navigate the change to maximize the benefits while minimizing potential struggles.
+ Do you have your own provider networks?
We have a variety of providers with whom we have worked, and have established mutually beneficial reimbursement rates. We offer the maximum choice – you are not limited to a defined network of providers. And we constantly add new providers to the fold, making it easier for your employees to enjoy an ever-expanding list of potential options for care and treatment.
