What is the Benefit?

You learned this in kindergarten: good things happen when people work together. This is definitely holds true when it comes to taking care of people’s health. By bringing together a broad network of the region’s best doctors, and enhancing coordination, collaboration and communication, the benefit is better care at lower cost.

The benefits extend three ways: to the patients, who receive better service and quality; to the doctors who get improved coordination and also to the payees, or the employers, who appreciate a healthier, more productive work force and lower coverage costs. Learn more below.

Patients who opt to receive their care from the Roper St. Francis Health Alliance will find many benefits. Most importantly, they will have a greater number of choices of doctors and be able to customize their care by choosing a doctor who fits their specific needs from our broad network.
