Easily Folds Into Existing Healthcare Plans
SMS helps members understand their surgical care options and guides them to specialty surgeons in their communities who help them choose the appropriate settings for their procedures. SMS-affiliated surgeons regularly use high-quality ASCs, opening up the possibility for members to receive outpatient surgeries at significant cost savings.
Surgical Management Solutions (SMS) is an add-on to an employer’s existing health benefits. SMS partners with health plans to reduce surgical care costs and create a seamless experience for employers and members.
- Seamless integration to existing health plans
- Simple communication through existing employer touchpoints or your customer service center
- Integrated: No changes to benefit plan design needed
- In-network: Because the SMS alliance of surgeons and ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) is a subset of the health plan network, there are no out-of-network surprises for members
