PHILADELPHIA, PA — Tendo has announced a strategic partnership with Hint Health to offer employers a comprehensive direct care solution that merges Hint Connect’s extensive Direct Primary Care (DPC) network with Tendo’s Care Connect Platform. This collaboration is designed to streamline access to high-quality healthcare for employees while enabling employers to control healthcare costs more effectively.
Hint Health, renowned for its DPC technology platform, serves over one million members with its secure software. Its national network, Hint Connect, provides a straightforward entry point for employers to access over 550 DPC clinicians across the country. By integrating with Tendo’s Care Connect Platform, employers can now manage a wide spectrum of healthcare services, from primary care to specialized procedures, all through a single, cohesive system.
This partnership offers a unique advantage by embedding clear, all-inclusive pricing for specialist referrals and procedures directly into the DPC clinician’s workflow. Employers benefit from Tendo’s pre-negotiated cash-rate contracts, which provide average savings of 20-40%. This ensures that cost efficiency and high-quality care are integral components of the referral process. Tendo’s Care Connect Marketplace facilitates seamless access to a broad range of healthcare services, characterized by transparent pricing and bundled care episodes.
Zak Holdsworth, co-founder and CEO of Hint Health, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration: “We are excited to work with Tendo and participate in their innovative Care Connect platform. Together, Tendo and Hint Health provide a comprehensive solution for employers to manage total healthcare costs effectively while improving access to high-quality care for their employees.”
Through this integrated solution, DPC clinicians within the Hint Connect network can leverage Tendo’s marketplace to ensure patients receive the necessary care with upfront pricing and coordinated scheduling. This approach not only simplifies healthcare navigation for employees but also enhances the personal connection between primary care providers and patients.
Ben Maisano, SVP Head of Strategy at Tendo, shared his vision for the partnership, stating, “Tendo is thrilled to work with Hint Health and their DPC providers. Together, our combined solution offers employers peace of mind, ensuring their members are supported by a trusted primary care clinician with a personal connection. The DPCs can refer members to specialist and procedural care in our Care Connect marketplace which has upfront pricing, episode bundles, and scheduling coordination baked in.”
This alliance between Tendo and Hint Health marks a significant step forward in transforming employer-sponsored healthcare, offering a streamlined, cost-effective solution that prioritizes high-quality patient care and efficient healthcare delivery.
