NORWALK, CT – –Oxbridge Health, an industry leader in episode-based healthcare solutions, announces its entry into the Texas market with Episode Benefit Plans designed to transform how self-funded employers provide healthcare benefits. These plans offer a compelling alternative to traditional health insurance programs, featuring more than 50,000 unique episode care groups statewide with full price transparency and the freedom for members to choose any physician or hospital.
Cost Reduction Without Network Restrictions
Episode Benefit Plans reduce employer healthcare costs by 10-20% while eliminating the network restrictions typical of cost-containment strategies. The plans feature price guarantees for 124 episodes of care, providing employers with predictable costs and employees with clarity on out-of-pocket expenses before receiving treatment.
“”Our Episode Benefit Plans deliver the best of both worlds—the freedom of choice found in PPO plans combined with costs lower than narrow network or Reference Based Pricing plans,” said Sal Gentile, CEO of Oxbridge Health. “This represents a fundamental shift in healthcare financing that benefit managers and brokers need to evaluate against their current solutions.”
Healthcare Innovation With Proven Leadership
Oxbridge Health was founded by Steve Wiggins, the healthcare entrepreneur behind Oxford Health Plans, HealthMarket, and Remedy Partners—all pioneering companies in the bundled payment space.
“We’ve applied decades of experience in episode-based care to create a model that aligns the interests of employers, employees, and providers,” said Wiggins. “The savings compound as members engage with our platform, driving meaningful change in healthcare purchasing behavior through unprecedented transparency.”
