Employer Direct Healthcare announces partnership with The School Board of Highlands County

DALLAS, May 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Employer Direct Healthcare is excited to announce its new partnership with The School Board of Highlands County. On January 1, 2020, The School Board of Highlands County 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 2,400 members participating in The School Board of Highlands County's 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, The School Board of Highlands County will waive all coinsurance and deductible obligations.

John Zutter, CEO of Employer Direct Healthcare commented, "Our partnership with The School Board of Highlands County was formed earlier this year to help their teachers and staff, along with their families, access top-quality healthcare at affordable prices. The current COVID-19 crisis has made this mandate more critical than ever, and we are excited to continue to build on our strong momentum, driving savings and superior outcomes for our members and the County."
