Saint Alphonsus Health Alliance: Affordable Healthcare Solutions

When you shop for affordable plans on the Health Insurance Exchange, it’s important to know that some plans only let you see certain hospitals, doctors, and other providers. These are called “exclusive networks.”

These networks can be helpful. They bring together selected hospitals and providers to make care easier to access and more focused on quality. This can lead to better health results and help keep healthcare costs lower.

Saint Alphonsus Health Alliance gives you more options with these affordable plans. Its network includes all Saint Alphonsus hospitals, providers, and services, along with other trusted hospitals and medical providers in the region.

What is the Health Alliance?

For you to understand the value in choosing a Saint Alphonsus related physician, we think it’s important to start by highlighting the fundamental shifts we are making to improve health outcomes, reduce the cost of healthcare, and make care easy to access.

Better Value

Saint Alphonsus Health Alliance is a network of hospitals, doctors, and providers working together to see the best care principles are being delivered, so we can make unprecedented shifts towards reducing costs and rewarding great outcomes.

The Alliance is working to help:

• People currently healthy remain that way
• Providers stay on top of care and focused on early detection for people who have high risks for becoming ill
• Reduce healthcare costs by improving outcomes
• Prevent expensive complications
• Reduce avoidable hospitalizations
• Reduce expensive duplication of services by better managing or coordinating care beyond a doctor or hospital visit

Better Care

If you think about it, it should cost very little to keep people healthy. Preventing a disease or finding it very early when it is likely more treatable, will cost much less in the long-term. Making the right care available at the right time and in the right place will also be important.

And if people do get sick, they should be quickly and accurately diagnosed, the treatment options should be clearly outlined and available, and the necessary support should be provided.

Key services offered or supported by Saint Alphonsus, include:

• Patient Navigators help patients access the most appropriate care in a timely manner
• Patient-Centered Medical Homes offer patients a team approach to care
• Urgent Care offers lower-cost medical visits, compared to an Emergency Department, and are open 7 days a week
• 367-DOCS helps consumers find primary care and specialty providers and is able to schedule appointments for Saint Alphonsus primary care providers
• 367-COST helps estimate out-of-pocket costs of procedures performed at Saint Alphonsus hospitals, based on a consumer’s specific insurance plan and deductibles
• Corporate Wellness programs help prevent chronic illness and keep employees healthy and productive

Better Quality

Most people think the quality is inherent in hospitals and they would be right. However, rather than meeting minimum regulatory standards, The Alliance is focused on achieving maximum standards.

• Our Quality Care Continuums identify common diseases or conditions — such as stroke, diabetes, pregnancy, breast cancer, congestive heart failure, or joint replacement surgery — and bring experts together to share the most innovative medicine or medical practices that have strong evidence proven to provide the best outcomes for each disease or condition.
• These evidence-based medicine guidelines are then hardwired into our processes and delivered to all Alliance providers so patients can consistently achieve the best outcomes along with the most positive experience.

Better Choices

We give patients more value and choices by providing them with the highest quality healthcare network, which includes Saint Alphonsus and other hospitals, doctors, and providers around the region.  And we have a strong network specialists for both adult and pediatric patients.
