Stork Club's Success is in its Care Model and Execution
Stork Club attributes its excellent performance to its care model — managed care via Centers of Excellence (COE). The model consists of two main components:
Centers of Excellence Network: Stork Club enables its members to receive care from over 1,600 providers in the US that meet rigorous performance criteria. Stork Club helps steer patients to fertility clinics that drive better outcomes while still giving patients the flexibility to select a provider of their choice.
Clinically designed pre-packaged care: When receiving care at those clinics, Stork Club patients have all the necessary elements of care to conceive a child covered and pre-negotiated for them in advance, so patients don't skip critical services based on their out-of-pocket cost and instead can focus on what matters — their health.
As a result, employers get the highest quality care for the best price, while covered employees achieve their family-building goals faster and with a lower out-of-pocket cost — a win-win for everyone. The model has been proven to drive better outcomes and reduce the cost in other high-cost areas of care, such as spine, joint replacement, and bariatric surgical care.
"Stork Club leverages evidence-based practices to offer its members the highest quality of reproductive care, ensuring an inclusive approach that caters to the diverse needs of all patients," said Glenn Schattman, MD, Clinical Director of Fertility Care at Stork Club. "Stork Club's care model is optimized for effectiveness, enabling members to reach their parenthood goals through the most efficient pathways, supported by our commitment to clinical excellence and patient-centered outcomes."
Stork Club collects outcomes data directly from its providers via proprietary software to enable real-time proactive care management for its patients. Such direct access to clinical outcomes closes a large gap for employers — with Stork Club, they now have access to detailed reports, including anonymized customer-specific data on clinical outcomes across the whole care case and ROI.
"Stork Club's managed care model drives superior outcomes for patients and plan sponsors. Building on this success, we've applied the model to close other gaps in care, including onsite birth doula support and nuanced management of midlife hormonal transitions (e.g. menopause/andropause). By delivering evidence-based interventions, we partner with plan sponsors to control rising healthcare costs while providing people with access to critical reproductive healthcare," said Jeni Mayorskaya, the Founder and CEO at Stork Club.
