FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MOCPA and Simpara Partner to Provide a Proactive New Health Plan
ST. LOUIS, Missouri, March 27, 2019—The Missouri Society of Certified Public Accountants has partnered with benefit advisory firm, Simpara to launch a first-of-its kind association health plan for its members.
Emphasizing direct, relationship-based primary care, the plan focuses on proactive health management and aims to control costs using evidence-based health purchasing.
The goal is to reimagine health benefits for efficiency, cost-effectiveness and better patient outcomes.
Pricing begins at just $124 per month and thanks to its inclusion of dedicated physician advocates, members receive free, 24/7 access to a one-of-a-kind healthcare experience. These personalized care teams provide ongoing health support and help actively manage members’ care. From arranging for the lowest cost prescriptions to coordinating high-quality specialty care, the objective is reducing downstream costs associated with over utilization and unnecessary care and paying less for specialty care when it is needed.
“We’re reimagining what a health benefit plan should look like and how that impacts the delivery of first-class healthcare,” says Simpara founder, Adam Berkowitz. “By removing the cost barriers to access high-quality and high-functioning primary care, by actually improving the benefits, we’re able to reverse the trend of higher premiums and ever-higher deductibles and copayments.
Adds Kathleen Meyer, CFO of MOCPA, “The cost of healthcare remains a significant and growing burden for our 10,000+ members and their organizations. We’re thrilled to deliver such a unique program and to continue to add value to our growing membership base.”
MOCPA’s Association Health Plan is currently available for MOCPA members and their organizations. Solo-practitioners, 1099s, and small businesses are all eligible to enroll for a May 1, 2019 effective date.
