Pediatrics 5280 the latest physician practice to join Averde’s expanding network in Colorado.
West Hartford, CT and Centennial, CO – Averde’s network expansion in Colorado continued with the signing of Pediatrics 5280, a key pediatrics group in Littleton, CO. Averde Health, a healthplan that specializes in high deductible or Consumer Directed Health Plans (CDHP’s), sells their innovative new product to self-insured employers in Colorado and several other states. “We are excited to have Pediatrics 5280 in our network,” said William Carroll, VP of Network Development and Provider Relations at Averde Health. “With HealthOne, Centura and Exempla hospital systems in our network, we are focused on building out our physician network across Colorado. Contracting with Pediatrics 5280 for in-network services will help our members and their families access care and save money.”
“Partnering with Averde makes sense for our practice and our patients,” said Mike Ripperton, Practice Administrator. “Their model lets us focus on healthcare while they focus on collections, plan administration and member services. Best of all, our physicians can refer Averde members to high quality pediatric services at one of their in-network hospitals.” In Averde’s model, doctors and hospitals collect no money from patients at the time of service except copays. Averde pays both plan and patient liability directly to physicians when clean claims are submitted within 60 days of service. Averde collects directly from patients so physicians don’t have to.
Averde’s CDHP product is available now for group sales by calling 1-877-Averde-1. Individual medical policies using the Averde network are available through Assurant Health’s Clarity product.
