When Healthcare Works for People, Costs Take Care of Themselves

The healthcare industry has become fixated on cost-containment solutions.
While controlling expenses matters, this narrow focus misses what matters most: making healthcare work for people.
Most cost-saving programs ask employees to change how they buy and use healthcare. Sign up for this new app. Call this 800 number. Use this different network.
Each solution adds another layer to an already overwhelming system which leads to low engagement rates, frustrated employees, and solutions that don't deliver their promised savings.
This drives our fundamentally different approach.
A Different Approach
Instead of adding more hurdles, we remove them. Our solution centers on a simple idea: pair one dedicated nurse with one employer.
These aren't distant voices on a helpline. Our nurses become part of their client's HR team, working directly alongside employees. They handle everything from insurance questions to finding high-value providers, managing prescriptions, and supporting those with ongoing health needs.
What Happens When You Focus on People
While other programs struggle with patients avoiding doctor visits due to inattentive providers, long wait times, and inconvenient appointment times, our nurses engage with over 50% of members who might become high-cost claimants.
They step in early, guide care decisions, and ensure people get the right support at the right time.
This approach delivers the cost savings that employers seek. Savings come naturally when:
Employees get the right care early
Treatment plans are followed correctly
Healthcare decisions are guided by a trusted nurse
Problems are caught before they escalate
It Doesn't Have to Be Complicated
For employers and brokers tired of implementing solutions that employees won't use, there's a more straightforward path. No apps to download. No systems to learn. Just support that makes healthcare work better.
It's also how you control costs in a sustainable way.
Synergy Healthcare integrates clinical services directly into human resources. By providing independent employer-based support, employees better access care, improve health outcomes and help create cost stability.
