Premise Health, the largest direct healthcare company serving large employers and unions, and Centivo, the pioneering healthcare company dedicated to making high-quality healthcare more affordable for employers and their employees, today announced that they are launching a new, primary care-centered health plan. This plan combines Premise's advanced primary care model, delivered through onsite and nearsite health centers nationwide, with Centivo's clinically integrated network.
This new collaboration and health plan is a paradigm shift in delivering and paying for care. It gives members an affordable healthcare plan option that requires a relationship with a primary care provider. Members can get the highest quality primary care at and near where they work and then seamlessly access a network of coordinated specialists who know their needs. The result is a better healthcare experience for patients that delivers:
- Easy access to care: Fostering strong patient-provider relationships and ensuring timely care.
- Cost transparency and affordability: Eliminating confusing billing practices and ensuring clear, predictable costs.
- Comprehensive care coordination: Streamlining care across providers, improving efficiency, and helping patients navigate the healthcare system.
According to Business Group on Health's 2025 Employer Health Care Strategy Survey, 14 percent of employers adopted non-traditional medical plans in 2025. As a result, the benefits market is primed for new offerings like those from Premise Health and Centivo, which are helping employers transform their health benefits to better meet the diverse needs of their workforce.
"In the last year, 1 in 4 Americans didn't get care they needed because of the cost, which is a crisis for American families and employers," Premise Health CEO Stu Clark said. "Premise and Centivo have demonstrated that the combination of exceptional primary care and innovative health plan design can improve health and lower costs for both employees and employers. This new health plan option will transform healthcare as we know it and make a real, measurable difference."
"It's clear employers and their employees are frustrated with the current insurance landscape and are seeking alternative options," said Ashok Subramanian, CEO and Founder of Centivo. "Partnering with an organization that shares our commitment to enhancing patient care and outcomes was a natural decision to address this demand for change. We look forward to replicating this success for more organizations, driving efficiency and cost savings."
