| In recent years, medical costs have
continued to skyrocket, resulting in drastic health care price increases
for business and industry. Employers are faced with the task of
providing quality health care benefits at an affordable price.
Health Link®, a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO), is designed to
assist employers in meeting this challenge.
Health Link® offers a network of more
than 1,400 physicians conveniently located throughout Mississippi and
northwest Alabama. The network is comprised of more than 30
hospitals, including Le Bonheur Children's Medical Center and St. Jude
Children's Research Hospital. We also have agreements for organ
transplant services with University of Alabama at Birmingham, Vanderbilt University Medical Center and University of Mississippi
Medical Center in Jackson.
In order for employers to realize a
significant cost savings, health benefit plans are modified to create
financial incentives for employees to use preferred providers.
Participating physicians accept the Health Link® maximum allowable
amount as payment in full. Employees are relieved of the
obligation to pay any difference between the physician charges and the
Health Link® maximum allowable amount. Participating hospitals
offer a variety of cost containment plans based upon the specific needs
and utilization of the employer. These measures, combined with
employee education and utilization management, provide employers
significant savings on health care costs.
