How the Right Partner Makes Switching Healthcare Networks Easier and More Effective

How the Right Partner Makes Switching Healthcare Networks Easier and More Effective

Did you know employers can save up to 25% by switching to a more efficient network model?

Switching healthcare networks may feel risky, but staying with one that isn’t delivering value may be costing you more than you think. With the right partner, change is not only manageable. It can also help you take control of your healthcare spend and improve outcomes and savings.

 

Why Consider a Switch?

If your current network isn’t delivering savings, flexibility, or service, it might be time to re-evaluate. Many employers hesitate to switch out of fear of disruption — but that hesitation can lead to higher costs, limited provider access, and frustration from both HR teams and employees.

That’s where thoughtful strategy comes in.

Tom Silliman, Healthcare Highways’ SVP of Business Development, breaks down what change can look like when it’s done right, and how having the right partner can help you minimize disruption.

 

A Smart Switch Starts with the Right Partner

Switching doesn’t mean starting from scratch. A good partner works with you to understand your team’s needs, find creative solutions, and build a transition that minimizes disruption while maximizing value.

Tom explains what to look for in a network partner and how the right fit can help you gain control of your plan’s performance.

 

What Makes a Strong Partner?

  • Strategic guidance – A partner who understands your goals and helps aligns your network strategy with your long-term plan performance.
  • Disruption analysis – Know exactly what to expect before you switch, so there are no surprises
  • Dedicated support – Clear, consistent communication for HR teams and employees reduces confusion and boost confidence.
  • Custom solutions – One-size-fits all doesn’t work. The right partner builds to your needs.

 

The Bottom Line

If your current network isn’t delivering results, the right partner can help you make a better move. With the right support, switching can be the first step toward lowering costs, improving care, and giving your employees a better experience.
