We stand out for many reasons, including our exceptional personal service
with self-service capabilities available to brokers, employers and members on
the Starmark website 24/7.
Our self-funded plan designs stand out, too, such as our newest addition: Starmark Healthy ChoicesSM reference-based pricing plan
designs.
- Maximum cost-savings – Reference-based pricing uses fixed pricing across
providers for healthcare services based on a multiple of Medicare, preventing
provider reimbursement variances for the same services that can be as
much as 500%2, with no difference in quality.
- Increased cost transparency – Through the use of Healthcare BluebookTM, an online transparency tool, members receive a truer
picture of provider cost and quality.
- Freedom of provider choice – For most services, members enjoy freedom of choice with
physician/hospital care3. Members can select providers based in the United
States, that best suit their needs which enables them to maintain
current provider relationships or look for a new physician.
- Claim advocacy advantage – Starmark has enlisted the services of ClearHealth
Strategies, a market leader in Medicare-based pricing, for any necessary
provider negotiation on claim amounts above the Reasonable Fee, striving
to retain savings on behalf of the plan and member. Typically, 3% to 5%
of total claims go to negotiation.4
