Employer Direct Healthcare announces partnership with Bunzl Distribution USA, LLC
DALLAS, July 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Employer Direct Healthcare is excited to announce its recent partnership with Bunzl Distribution USA, LLC (Bunzl). On January 1, 2020, Bunzl began offering Employer Direct Healthcare's SurgeryPlus™ benefit, a supplemental benefit providing surgical concierge services with a focus on quality care, lower costs, and a better member experience.
The approximately 3,800 members participating in Bunzl's US Cigna health plan will have access to the SurgeryPlus™ benefit's full-service healthcare concierge for over 1,400 non-emergent procedures. When they choose to utilize the SurgeryPlus™ benefit, members will be paired with their own dedicated Care Advocate. Their Care Advocate will assist them with everything from their selection of a surgeon, to scheduling appointments, transferring medical records, and even arranging travel, removing the stress and confusion often associated with planning for medical care.
As an added benefit, when participants elect to use a participating surgeon through the SurgeryPlus™ benefit, Bunzl will waive a portion of their out-of-pocket financial responsibility.
John Zutter, CEO of Employer Direct Healthcare, commented, "We are thrilled to partner with Bunzl as part of their strategy to provide superior health benefits for their employees and their dependents. The current COVID-19 crisis has had profound impacts, both societally and financially. People across the country have had to put their medical needs on hold and are now struggling to navigate the system. At SurgeryPlus, we guide our clients' employees and their dependents through the health system, focusing on providing access to top-quality surgical care at fair prices."
