Letter
from the President
Welcome to The Link!
A
t HealthLink, we understand the importance of building
tangible value for our contracted employer groups, benefit
administrators and health care professionals.
The Link reflects our support of key initiatives driving today’s
self-funded market. And it targets the priorities our clients have specified as
most critical to their ongoing success.
Priority 1: Employees. HealthLink’s broad network and its excellent
reputation in the marketplace are competitive advantages that we pass on
to you and your employees in the form of convenient and affordable access
to quality health care.
Priority 2: Plan Design. HealthLink clients enjoy the many
advantages of self-funding. With HealthLink, clients can design a plan
that meets the specific needs of their employee group, their budget and
their business strategy.
Priority 3: Budget. HealthLink clients make the most of the money
they spend on health benefits. They keep claims costs down and ROI
up. Among the many advantages of self-funding are greater control over
cash flow and money held in reserve. Any savings derived from cost
containment options goes right back to the plan. That’s smart business.
Priority 4: The Future. HealthLink’s consultative reporting puts
information to work, identifying costly procedures and plan misuse, and
providing actionable information that supports measurable results. That’s a
powerful strategy for future success.
We are pleased to introduce The Link and we welcome the opportunity
to discuss a mutually successful long-term relationship between your group
and HealthLink.
Sincerely
Steve Martenet
President
HealthLink, Inc.
