Pareto Captive Services and R-Health have launched a partnership to bring enhanced primary care to Pareto’s clients.
The partnership brings together R-Health, a national leader in enhanced primary care, and Pareto, which specialises in forming and managing employee benefits group captives.
The two Philadelphia-based companies aim to cooperate to address the need to provide innovative solutions to tackle ever-rising healthcare costs facing employers and individuals.
The collaboration will provide Pareto clients with access to R-Health’s increasing number of direct care practices.
The two companies are partnering to launch two direct care locations in the Kansas City area in September 2018 and plan to open four new practices in the Greater Philadelphia area in 2019, with others locations opened depending on demand.
Mason Reiner, R-Health co-founder and CEO, commented: "By partnering with Pareto, we can leverage our unique combination of clinical expertise and technology to provide patients with consistent access to their personal doctor while achieving significant cost savings for employers through clinically integrated care delivery and innovative data analytics."
Pareto managing director Andrew Cavenagh said: "Pareto saw that our captive members needed a better primary care option for their employees, yet for most medium-sized employers, on-site clinics are not financially feasible and, often, can lead to further fragmented care."
He continued: "By partnering with R-Health to create near-home practices, we can fill that void by offering better access to primary care and more time with their physicians.”
“These offices offer convenient and comprehensive primary care to employees and their family members."
